My small world

In fog you only see what's close. Fill in your small world here: who's beside you and what makes your world a good place to be. Anything big and far away can disappear into the fog. Then save your small world as your phone wallpaper.

Whatever you type stays on your own phone or computer. Nothing is sent or stored.

1

Who's beside you?

The people who are dear to you and who know how you're really doing. Add as many as you like. One name is fine too.

2

What makes your small world a good place to be?

Small things close to home that make you happy. A pot of soup on the hob, the dog, your walk, Sunday morning.

What can stay in the fog this week?

Everything that's big and far away and that you can't do anything about right now. Type it in and watch it fade. As often as you like.

How to keep your world small this week

  1. Your body. A hand on the spot where you feel the tension, and 3 slow breaths out.
  2. Your people. Message one of them today.
  3. Your one thing. Do it today and it's out of your head.
  4. The news. One fixed moment a day, or a whole week without.
  5. Get outside. A walk in nature first, everything else after.

Stress building up anyway? The stress break is there for you.
