So let’s check in:
- How is your structure and routine? What is working well for you? What do you want to change?
- Are you keeping physically active?
- How is your sleep? Have you got a regular wake up time?
- Is work and household tasks (and childcare) balanced with some rest and relaxation? And some fun too?
- Are you being kind to yourself? And being realistic in your expectations of yourself?
- Are you being kind to others?
- Are you finding ways to connect socially with others?
