This section offers some tips for living well. In so doing, the focus is on putting your life on the agenda. It encourages you to become clear about what you want out of life, about what you value and appreciate, as well as providing tips for relaxing, keeping active, managing stress and sleeping well. By placing a focus on what is important to you there is no presumption that problems will disappear - that's not possible. Everyone, whether they have experienced sexual violence or not, confronts problems and has to deal with them. What an emphasis on living well does is encourage you to put energy into identifying and doing things that are important to you, on spending time with people and engaging in activities that fit your defined life purposes. Not surprisingly, an experience of sexual violence can be derailing and make you lose sight of where you are or even who you are. Rather than centering the experience of abuse in your life, its impact on you, or examining how you have coped with its effects, this section is very much about you and how you live your life.
