What Do I Want My Life to Feel Like?
A personal space to explore not just what you want to achieve, but how you want your ordinary days to feel.
Begin with how you want to feel
We spend so much time thinking about what we should do next, where we should be and what we want to achieve.
But what if the starting question was different?
Less pressure to achieve
There is no ideal lifestyle to build and no perfect answer to discover.
More space to notice
Explore the moments, people and places that help you feel more like yourself.
Your own words matter
Describe what matters to you, without feeling you must use someone else's language.
Small changes count
Build a personal map with choices that feel realistic and manageable.
Before you begin
You can skip questions, change answers or return later. You do not need to know what you want yet.
Your reflections are stored in this browser where supported. They are not submitted to Space to Breathe Therapy. On a shared device, download a copy and clear your answers when finished.
How do I want to feel?
Choose the feelings you would like more room for in your life. Tap a feeling to select it and again to remove it.
My chosen feelings
The feelings underneath my goals
Sometimes what we want to achieve is really about a feeling we hope to experience.
For example
“I want a different job” might mean “I want to feel respected, secure or less overwhelmed.”
Understanding the feeling can help us discover more than one way of moving towards it.
A thought to carry with you
You do not have to abandon your goals. You can care about what you achieve and how life feels along the way.
Where do my feelings live?
Explore the parts of everyday life that support your wellbeing and those where something may need to change.
🏡 Home & environment
Space, privacy, comfort, sensory needs and safety.
🤝 Relationships
Connection, communication, understanding and time alone.
🧭 Work & responsibilities
Purpose, expectations, pressure and support.
🌙 Pace & rest
Energy, routines, recovery and personal time.
Everyday feeling check-in
How closely does each area currently match the life you want to feel?
1 = not closely · 5 = very closely. Leave any area blank if you prefer.
What do I need more room for?
Sometimes creating a life that feels better involves doing less, asking for support or protecting what matters.
What could support me?
Choose any that feel relevant.
One small, gentle step
Choose something manageable. It might be a conversation, a pause, a boundary or simply noticing.
