A moment for you

More room for me

A reflection to help you notice what you want more of, what you want less of, and what would make life feel more like yours. Use it in whatever way works for you. You do not need to complete every prompt.

What would make you more free to be you?

More of this:

Less of this:

Something that would help:

Words you can borrow

“What would help me take part is…”

“Could we try a different way?”

“I’d like support with this, while keeping a say.”

Keep making room for you.

Your reflection stays with you. This page does not collect your answers.
