❖ Making Good Decisions means making choices that are healthy and responsible. You must
have the courage to make difficult decisions and stick to them.

❖ Communicating Effectively. Communication skills help you avoid misunderstanding by

expressing your feelings in a healthy way. This means if you listen to what people say, they will
want to listen to you as well.

❖ Practicing Wellness can be accomplished through information about good sexuality.

❖ Setting Goals or aiming for something that will give you a sense of accomplishment. Just be
sure to be realistic with your target goal.

❖ Refusal Skill is a way to say no to something that you don’t want to do. This skill requires
practice. But first, you must feel strongly about what things you want to avoid.
