Making time to check in with yourself

Melbourne Wellness · · 2 min read

It is easy to put a car service or a work meeting in the calendar while leaving your own questions for later. If something has been on your mind, set aside a little time to decide what needs attention.

This is an invitation to organise your questions, rather than a timetable for buying treatments. Melbourne Wellness doesn't currently offer remedial massage.

What have you been putting off?

Write a short list. It might include making an appointment, asking about a medicine, choosing meals for the week or arranging practical help at home.

Separate the items you can organise yourself from those that need professional advice. If you already have a care plan, check when your treating clinician asked you to return.

What would make this week more manageable?

Choose one ordinary task you can prepare for. Put the ingredients for a familiar meal on your shopping list. Arrange a time to talk with someone you trust. Make space in your diary for an appointment you have been meaning to book.

You can also decide what to postpone. A useful check-in does not need to produce a longer list of obligations.

When should you ask for support?

If stress is ongoing or affecting how you cope, speak with your GP or a mental health professional. Healthdirect — Stress.

Bring specific questions to that conversation, and ask what follow-up would be appropriate for you.

Our three questions about changing a habit offer a way to turn one everyday intention into a practical plan.
