THE SELF-CARE ORBITAL MODEL
Everything in Life Is Connected
Sleep affects concentration. Work affects energy. Relationships influence mood. Financial pressure can disturb sleep. Sensory overload can reduce social capacity. Physical health can change motivation.
The Self-Care Orbital Model helps us see wellbeing as a connected system rather than a collection of separate problems.
The full guide explores:
• mental wellbeing
• emotional balance
• physical health
• nutrition and hydration
• rest and recovery
• relationships and connection
• boundaries and self-respect
• work, study and purpose
• finances and practical life
• environment and sensory needs
• personal growth and identity
• the ripple effect between different areas
• finding a small “leverage point” for change
• an orbital self-assessment
• a personal reflection
• a seven-day orbital experiment
• supporting someone else
• professional support, books and clinical/source notes
A message from Space to Breathe Therapy:
You are not a collection of separate problems. You are a whole person living inside a connected network of needs, relationships, responsibilities and experiences. You may not be able to change everything today. Look for one small change in the right place and notice where the ripple travels.
Until next time, give yourself Space to Breathe.
