Your Self-Care Starting Point

Your Self-Care Starting Point

This quick quiz is designed to help you to identify the areas in your life that are currently supporting your health, happiness and wellbeing, and those that are not.

Once you can see what's working well in your life right now, you can take those habits and build on them to make them stronger and add new positive habits to them. At the same time, identifying the areas that present opportunities will help you to see what new habits may be of assistance to you.

For each item, please tick the relevant column for how often you do/experience it.
