Making space for yourself

A small return to the things that make you feel like you.

Wellbeing · 5 min read · Updated October 2026

Start very small

Ten minutes for something that feels like you counts: a walk, a song, a chapter of a book.

Put it in the plan

Add it to the shared-care planner so it is protected time, not left-over time.

Notice how you are

If low mood or worry lasts more than two weeks, talk to your GP or call PANDA on 1300 726 306.
