My reset recipe read out loud

Activity

What do you do, or where to you go to clear your head and take a moment to reset? Is it a regular dog walk, a bench by the beach, a cosy café or somewhere in your home.

Note down a beautiful walk you enjoy.

Where is it, what will people find?

Draw your most treasured spot to sit when life gets full on.

Why is it so special?

What can you feel, see or smell when you go to your favourite place? Note this down or tell the person next to you.

Write your own reset recipe using your answers from above, use the recipe on the front on this card for an example.

Share your favourite reset recipe for others to try.

Carrie’s example:

Put on comfy shoes and walk to a patch of grass.

Sit down and place my hands flat on the ground.

Breathe deeply and feel the textures between my fingers.

1 minute counting all the different shades of green I can see

Then 1 min of looking up and following the shapes of the skyline.

Return home.
