There are a few things which can help a tool to work for you: 

• you must understand your own health, goals and how the tool might benefit you

• you should also consider how a new tool would fit alongside other support you may be receiving

• you must be open and motivated to change your behaviour to manage your health and wellbeing 

• the tool must become a natural part of your routine. 

Struggling with a tool?

Don’t feel disheartened if you come across a tool that’s too complicated or too hard to use. 

You can discuss your options with someone you trust, such as a support worker or family member. They might be able to recommend a tool that is more suitable to you.
