Wellbeing Check-in

A moment for you. There are no wrong answers here.

Small things that often help

Would a glass of water help?

It’s a small thing that quietly lifts energy and concentration. One now, perhaps — the kettle can wait a minute.

Have you moved around today?

A walk to the window, a stretch, a potter round the garden — it all counts. Ten little wanders beat one big march.

Is there one small thing you’d like to do next?

Just one — watering a plant, sending a message, opening the post. Your Daily Routine page can hold it for you.

Would you like a calming breathing prompt?

Settle back in your chair, and let your shoulders drop.

  1. Breathe in slowly through your nose, counting to four.
  2. Breathe out even more slowly, counting to six.
  3. Do this four times, at your own pace.
  4. Then notice one thing nearby you’re glad is there.

You can come back to this as often as you like.

If things feel too heavy

This check-in is a gentle habit, not medical care. If you’re struggling, please talk to your GP, call NHS 111, or ring Samaritans free on 116 123 — any hour, any day. In an emergency, call 999.
