Why it matters
Life can feel busy and overwhelming. Taking time to slow down and recharge reduces stress, supports your immune system, and boosts emotional resilience.
Ideas for rest & relaxation
- Try mindfulness or meditation apps (e.g. Headspace, Calm)
- Go for a slow walk in nature and notice what you see and hear
- Limit screen time in the evening
- Practise deep breathing or gentle yoga before bed
- Spend quiet time on a hobby (reading, gardening, crafts)
