Your lifeline

Many people find it helpful to look back on their experiences in order to think about what their priorities are and what they want from life. Producing a lifeline helps to give shape to the past rather than see it as a confusing jumble of events and experiences. This can be the first step towards considering the future and moving forward.

1.	Print this form and, starting from your birth to the present day, note down key events in terms of the extent to which they mark high or low points of your life.
2.	Were these key events instigated by you or the result of outside influences?
3.	Do these experiences have anything in common?
4.	Think about what happened and how you felt. What does this say about you and how might that affect your future decisions?

This lifeline should show your high and low points. Include key events in your life.
