MAKE ROOM FOR A PAUSE

Relax & Reset

Settle somewhere comfortable and let your breathing find its own gentle pace. There is nothing to achieve.

A gentle breathing break

Rest your feet on the ground or choose a supported position. Breathe gently without trying to take unusually deep breaths. Skip counting or close your eyes only if that feels comfortable. No breath-holding is needed.

Stop if you feel dizzy, short of breath or uncomfortable. This is an optional pause, not a treatment or a breathing test.

NHS breathing guidance
A quiet wind-down

Let your hands rest. Notice where the chair or bed supports you. If comfortable, soften your shoulders and jaw. Notice one sound in the room, then return your attention to a comfortable breath.

Keep your eyes open and stop whenever you like. Relaxation is not comfortable for everyone.

Breathe at your own pace.

AN EASIER END TO THE DAY

Sleep & Rest

A gentle evening routine

Try one change at a time: a familiar bedtime, something enjoyable to read, or a quieter bedroom. Rest does not have to be earned.

NHS sleep tips
When sleep needs more support

If poor sleep continues or affects everyday life, speak to your GP. Accessories and bedtime routines are not treatments for insomnia.

NHS five steps to wellbeing

A moment on paper

NOTICE WHAT IS AROUND YOU

Mindful Moments

A little time outside

Notice a leaf, the changing light or a bird's song. A seat by a window or a quiet spot outdoors can be enough; you do not need to complete a walk.

For a longer outing, choose a route that suits your mobility, experience and the conditions. All PAW walking listings have a stated minimum duration of 30 minutes.

Explore Walking & Nature

A moment away from the screen

Put your phone aside if it is safe to do so. Notice three things you can see and one sound you can hear. There is no right answer and no need to share it.

TIME AWAY, AT YOUR OWN PACE

Wellness Holidays & Retreats

Explore a change of scenery, time in nature or a retreat built around activities you enjoy.

Before you book
  • Compare the total cost, including travel, transfers, meals, activities and any single-person supplement.
  • Confirm exact dates, room arrangements, group size and how much of the programme is optional.
  • Ask the organiser about accessibility, activity level, dietary needs and instructor qualifications.
  • Read cancellation, refund and booking conditions; check travel insurance and any applicable financial protection directly.
  • For overseas trips, check entry requirements and current official travel advice.
  • Do not rely on detox, healing or guaranteed health claims. A holiday is not a substitute for medical care.
