Breathing space

At any point during your day, you might find it helpful to find some space and take a short breather. The following steps can be used to help you feel more settled and grounded and more able to make wise choices about how to move through the rest of your day. You can use this at any time, and with practice, may find it particularly useful when you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed for any reason. Ideally, find a quiet place where you will have five minutes undisturbed. If this is hard to find, you can do this within staff bathrooms or even while walking along a corridor.
