You will be able to see the content below initially, but before you can add any content we need to send you a password which will allow you to see this type of post
As an additional layer of protection, you have set an additional personal password which will restrict any personal information that is shown on this page – which only you can see in any event.
BTW I’ve got as far as sorting the personal password, and whether it’s shown or not. The forms are in Background – move them to Extra security and put hyperlinks in to there from other place.
In terms of the template, I’ve copied Dynamic templates in so re-check that these are working then delete the manual stuff, and make the templates dependent on the personal password shown acf field.
Also may need to refresh the page to show the personal details.

The following sections summarise your overall health. You can complete as many as you like, and in any order, but in may ways it makes more sense to progress down the page. Only enter what you feel comfortable putting in. No-one else will be able to see your info.
Once you have entered your personal password on this screen, you will have to hit ‘Refresh’ (F5 on many Windows machines) to have access to personal 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 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.
Your Values
Your behaviour is governed by your attitudes and values. You can work out what these are, either by taking an online questionnaire, downloading a list and working out which apply to you, or just listing what you feel is important to you.
This is where you look at your current state of health overall. This might involve taking a health questionnaire, and as explained there are three to consider. The first two you can download or do on our site – the third you have to do on their site.
You only want a quick overview of your health and wellness, and will drill down in any areas needing work – use the Subjective Happiness Scale
You want to do a more detailed assessment and then focus on areas you’re already aware of – use the Oxford Happiness Scale
You want to look at your health across a number of different domains – use the Personal Wellness Questionnaire.
The results and summary are shown below.
If you want to edit this info or take another questionnaire click the button below.
This is where you look at your attitude to change. This is important – if you want to actually do something to improve your health, you have to make changes! You may know this already, but if not you can take a questionnaire to find out or confirm your view of what your attitude to change is.
This is where you look at your locus of control. This is important and determines a lot about you. It’s whether you’re a passenger in life or someone who takes control. You can take a questionnaire to find out what your locus of control is.
Health is a big subject – we’ve used physical, financial and mental health to split it up. It can be broken down into more ‘domains’ which reflect different sorts of health.
You can see in the chart below how you scored in each domain.
There are domains you may not be strong in, and which you need to address, but there may also be domains that you WANT to address, and they may not be the same!
Quadrant 1 – You WANT and NEED to address:
Quadrant 2 – You NEED to address but don’t WANT to:
Quadrant 3 – You WANT to address but don’t NEED to:
Quadrant 4 – You don’t WANT or NEED to address:
You can look at general info on health areas in domains here
We have a page with information on each health area. If you select a domain and health area you’ll be able to go and look.
If you’re not happy with these, you can edit them by pressing the button below.
First domain: Financial
First domain: Physical
Third domain: Social
Fourth domain: Intellectual
Possible first health area to focus on: Financial Planning
Possible second health area to focus on: Alcohol
Possible third health area to focus on: Communication Skills
Possible fourth health area to focus on: Brain Power
You can edit the areas you want to address
Action plans are where you choose a specific issue and start to tackle it. It will be focussed on one specific health area, and you will log the issue you want to address and the ideal outcome you want. You will be able to look at some exercises you can undertake related to this issue, and decide whether you want to include these in your action plan.
In future you will be able to enlist the help of experts in the specific area you have selected – browse the experts with the relevant skills and contact the one you want to use.
Finally you will be able to log how often you tackle a particular activity and how useful you found it.
This is where you will be able to see a summary of any action plans you have created, and you will be able to go to them from there. You will also be able to add a new action plan.

We all have our beliefs, attitudes and values – these have developed throughout our life based on who we are and what we have done. Let’s look at what these are.
The University of Reading explain: “People’s values, beliefs and attitudes are formed and bonded over time through the influences of family, friends, society and life experiences. So, by the time you’re an adult, you can hold very definite views on just about everything with a sense of “no one is going to change my mind”.
The combination of your personal values, beliefs and attitudes are your moral principles that guide you in life and affect your behaviour. However, your views can wildly differ to others and in an institution such as a school, these beliefs may be counter to the values of the school, child development or indeed the law.”
Let’s look more closely at the differences between beliefs, attitudes and values.
These come from real experiences – we think our beliefs are based on reality, but in fact our beliefs colour our experiences; also, an original experience e.g. when we were a child is not the same as what’s happening now. Beliefs can be moral, religious or cultural and reflect who we are. They can be rational (‘it gets colder in winter’) or irrational (‘I am never going to make something of myself’).
This is an immediate belief or disposition about something specific. It is a recurring group of beliefs and behaviours aimed at specific groups, people, ideas or objects. They will normally be positive or negative and we will always behave that way to the target group. Examples of attitudes include confidence (I can or can’t do something), grateful (I an entitled to / grateful for XXX) and cheerful (I am generally happy / miserable).
These are things (principles or qualities) that we hold in high regard or consider to be worthwhile or right / wrong. They are formed by a belief related to the worth of something – an idea or behaviour. Some values are common (e.g. family comes first, the value of friendship) or cultural (which the whole community have – see video at Study.com here)
Expectancy Value Theory suggests you balance your beliefs about something with the value you attach to it. The Theory of Reasoned Action suggests that beliefs and evaluation about behavioural outcomes determine attitudes, and intentions lead directly to behaviour.
Expressions of confidence – can change over time
Learned predispositions to something – are subject to change
Ideals that guide our behaviour – Generally long lasting and often need life changing experience to change

At YouDrive we try and help people improve their health. We use ‘health’ but we understand there are other terms such as wellbeing or even happiness that reflect how we are doing in our lives – if you’re interested in the different definitions and ideas see our page on the subject.
We want to help whether you have a particular problem – physical, financial or mental – or if you just want to improve some specific part of your life or just make some improvements overall.
You’d be surprised, but there has been a serious amount of scientific work done in this area over the last twenty years.
So first we allow you to assess your current health (or wellbeing, or happiness). We do this by questionnaire. Which one is determined by the type of person you are:
By the way, we take your privacy seriously – we collect information that you choose to provide but we de-identify it as much as possible and will never share it with anyone without your explicit consent.
You can then drill down into some specific areas and there are more questionnaires to see your situation in these particular areas. We provide you with specific information and refer you to other potential aspects of help. Our next step is to build a personalised action plan – for now we will make a suggestion for you to develop your own plan and then after a time you can see whether this has had a positive impact by retaking the test.
In future we will be engaging with medical and behavioural specialists to devise action plans for individual people with specific situations.
We have an overall questionnaire which you can complete which will assess your current state.

No matter how healthy you are at the moment, the chances are that there are some areas you could improve. It may be that you have a real problem in one or more areas, and you would like to make some improvements.
At YouDrive we accept that there are many different degrees of ‘not wellness’ in a large number of different health areas, ranging from physical illness such as covid-19 through mental illness such as anxiety through to financial problems like debt. We try and help where the problem ranges from ‘slight’ to quite bad’ – after this expert help and intervention may be needed.
However, especially in these times, we have to try and make these changes ourselves, possibly with some help from others, whether remotely or face to face.
The thing is, to make an improvement we have to change some things.
This involves changing our behaviour in some respects, and that’s not always easy.
Henry Ford, the creator of the assembly line, is quoted as saying “if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”.
Another way of looking at this: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” – attributed to Albert Einstein.
Consequently we need to make some changes. The problem is that we have already developed a lot of habits, some of which we need to break and replace by better ones. Some of our bad habits have become entrenched, and the bad results they create in turn engender further bad habits to develop – in effect the bad habits can feed on themselves.
We need to understand how we can make changes and stick to them, and that’s what this part of your health profile is about.
It will involve some learning, through reading, some videos and some additional information and also seeing how you react to change currently.
It will also ask you to consider whether you feel you are in charge of your future, or whether you feel it’s all fate.

People look at things differently. Some people believe things happen to them, while others believe they can influence what happens to them. Technically this is called the ‘locus of control’. People can have an Internal or external Locus of Control
Psychology Today have a 15 minute test which gives you a summary of your position you can buy the detailed results if you want to.
My Personality Test have a 10 minute test which gives you a summary.
People tend to take more responsibility (locus gets more internal) as they get older. However, external isn’t always bad – for example if you are physically unable to do some things you can accept it and focus on the things you can do. This American video explains the concept and gives examples of how this can affect relationships.

We break down the overall concept of health or wellness into ‘bite-sized chunks’ that we can actually do something about. The first level we call health domains.
We like the Life of Wellness site and we have chosen the following domains.
1. Emotional Wellness: Awareness and acceptance of feelings
2. Spiritual Wellness: A search for meaning and purpose
3. Intellectual Wellness: Recognition of your creativity, knowledge and skills
4. Physical Wellness: Need for physical activity and balanced nutrition
5. Environmental Wellness: Positive awareness and impact on your environment
6. Financial Wellness: Debt reduction, cash flow balance or financial future planning
7. Occupational Wellness: Personal achievement and enrichment from your career
8. Social Wellness: Contribution to your community
Within each domain, we have included a number of health areas. These are specific issues that you can tackle. Within each health area, e.g. Depression, once you have subscribed we have built additional information and exercises which you can do to help in the area.
Times of change can be a challenge, no doubt! Whether it’s a relationship breakup, job loss, or being diagnosed with a serious health issue. Or you may WANT things to be different, but it feels a little scary or overwhelming. The butterfly reminds us change can be beautiful, even necessary, in order to realize our full potential and live our best life.
