Rest looks different for everyone. Sometimes it’s napping, quiet time with a book, or early nights. Other times, it’s being active—cleaning, exercising, socialising, or exploring. Listen to what your body needs.

Stop scrolling. Take a deep breath. And another. What is it you are feeling at this moment? Don't push it away. Take another breath. Connect with your feelings. Well done, have fun scrolling.

Diary & journal-keeping: " 'By recording ordinary moments today, one can make the present a 'present' for the future,’ the researchers write." Daniel Pink cites Ting Zhang et al (2014) in ‘When’. I’d also highly recommend @drlucykelly.bsky.social Kelly's 'Reimagining the Diary'
