“Creating space” in one's life means having to make room for what truly matters and letting go of what doesn't. This concept can be a little challenging as it often involves prioritizing and decluttering both physically and mentally, but it leads to a more fulfilling and balanced life.
The Make Space poster teaches clients to leave a space for their values and the things that bring them joy. It features 9 planet-like designs, each representing an action they can make space for, such as practicing self-care, having "me time," and expressing gratitude.
Using this poster as a source of motivation helps kids and teens feel less overwhelmed and more in control of their priorities. For greater clarity and peace of mind, they can create a personal schedule to make time for these activities.
Caring adults can support them by encouraging open communication and offering tips on time management. They can also give them helpful advice on establishing a balanced daily routine.
