You Drive Your Journey To Health
This is where you can choose how you want to assess your own health and start to take steps to make improvements.
Before you can start, you have to create a health record. You can add as much or as little as you like into this record. No-one will see it. You can edit it later. You will be able to view it and print it.
You will see whether you have a health record in the section below.
There are three stages, and you can choose which to do when (just click GO! to go to the relevant section!) or complete the whole process.
1 Understand you and your health. This can involve doing a questionnaire to see how healthy you are now, looking at what has made you the way you are now, what your values are, your strengths and weaknesses, some aspects of your personality and how likely you are to change. GO!
2 See how healthy you are in different areas. You can learn how your overall health is made up – we talk about physical, financial and mental health but there are other aspects to health (domains) and also specific areas within these domains, and you need to understand exactly WHAT you want to focus on. GO!
3 Improve your health in a specific health area. Once you decide which specific health area you want to address, you can find out more about it, do a questionnaire to see how you score, then start making some changes! GO!
4 Complete a full process. The first time you look at this you may want to follow the full process, which has been developed after extensive research into different worldwide approaches to determining overall health. The process is very interactive, and covers all three of the above approaches – understanding yourself, looking at different health areas and then completing an action plan. Just start at the top and work down!
1. Understand yourself and your health
1 Understand yourself and your health. This can involve doing a questionnaire to see how healthy you are now, looking at what has made you the way you are now, what your values are, your strengths and weaknesses, some aspects of your personality and how likely you are to change. You will see all these aspects below in more detail.
We don’t look at any details, and nor can anyone else. You can start vague and add details as you go.
Your Health Record
You should see your health record below, and you can either go to it from there or go to a specific area by looking at the options below. If you haven’t set one up you’ll see a form where you can set one up.
If you’ve set up more than one by mistake, you can delete the extraneous one by clicking the Delete button.
Background Info
You can enter more details about yourself, only to make your profile more complete. You can even add a profile picture! We won’t look at it, use it or do anything with it at all!
This just starts you thinking about your health – feel free to add details at any time.

Your Values
Your values form your attitudes on life and determine how you think, the decisions you make and what you do. It’s important to understand what they are – we help you to do that and give you choices in how to do it.
What’s the difference between values, attitudes and beliefs? See more by clicking the button below.

Analyse your health
When going for an interview, you’ll often be asked for strengths and weaknesses. It makes sense to understand these about your health, too. You should know where you need to focus your efforts to improve.
Berkeley give a good example of strengths and weaknesses, with some good examples and videos. Click to go have a look.
