Wellbeing & Focus Toolkit

Little tools to help you feel calm, focus, and be kind to yourself. Use whichever helps today.

Something for your hands and eyes to do.

🫧 Bubble pop

Pop every bubble. When you're done, pop them all again β€” as many times as you like.

πŸŒ€ Spinner

Give it a spin and watch it slow down.

πŸ”»

🌈 Sensory drift

Watch the colours slowly move. Tap it to change the colours. Let your eyes rest here for a moment.

🌬️ Breathing orb

Tap start when ready

How are you feeling right now?

There's no wrong answer. Tap a feeling and I'll suggest something that might help.

πŸ’› These tools help with everyday feelings. If a feeling is very big, or it won't go away, please tell a grown-up you trust β€” a parent, carer or teacher. You don't have to manage it on your own.

Get started, one small step at a time.

⏱️ Focus timer

Focus for a little while, then take a proper break. No rush.

10:00

🎯 My one thing

When everything feels like too much, pick just ONE thing to do next.

βœ… To-do list

Small, doable steps. Tick them off as you go.

    🚫 Not-to-do list

    Just as important! Things to let go of, avoid, or not worry about today β€” so you can protect your energy.

      Take a moment to look back on your day.

      πŸ“ My reflection

      Your journal stays private on your own device.

      Understanding big feelings β€” you're not alone.

      Some people β€” especially neurodivergent people, like those with ADHD β€” feel the sting of being told off, left out, or making a mistake very strongly. It can feel like a sudden wave of hurt, embarrassment or anger, much bigger than the moment seems to deserve. This is sometimes called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and it is not a flaw or a weakness β€” it's just how some brains are wired.

      Things that can help:

      • Name it: β€œThis is that big-feeling wave. It will pass.” Naming it takes away some of its power.
      • Pause before reacting: take three slow breaths (try the Breathing orb) before replying or deciding what it means.
      • Check the story: is the rejection real, or is your brain filling in the worst? Often it's not as bad as it first feels.
      • Be kind to yourself: talk to yourself like you would a good friend.
      • Tell someone you trust β€” saying it out loud shrinks it.

      Burnout is what happens when you've been coping with too much, for too long, without enough rest. You might feel exhausted, flat, unmotivated, easily upset, or like even small things are too hard. It doesn't mean you're lazy or failing β€” it means you need a proper recharge.

      Things that can help:

      • Rest properly β€” real breaks, sleep, and time doing nothing β€œuseful”.
      • Do less, on purpose β€” try the Not-to-do list and let some things go.
      • One thing at a time β€” use β€œMy one thing” instead of the whole list.
      • Move and get outside β€” even a short walk helps.
      • Ask for help β€” tell a trusted adult you're running on empty.

      All feelings are okay β€” even the uncomfortable ones. Feelings are like waves: they rise, they peak, and they always pass. You don't have to fix a feeling, just ride it out safely.

      • Name it β€” β€œI feel frustrated.” Naming calms the brain.
      • Breathe or move β€” try the Breathing orb, a fidget, or a stretch.
      • Ground yourself β€” notice 3 things you can see, 2 you can hear, 1 you can touch.
      • Wait it out β€” big feelings usually ease within a few minutes.
      • Talk to someone β€” sharing a feeling makes it lighter.
      πŸ’› This toolkit is here to support you day to day β€” it isn't medical help. If big feelings, exhaustion or worry stick around, please talk to a parent, carer, teacher or your doctor. Reaching out is a brave and sensible thing to do.
      If a feeling is too big to hold on your own Tell a grown-up you trust β€” a parent, a carer, a teacher. You are not being a bother, and nothing you say will get you into trouble.
      Childline β€” 0800 1111. Free, private, any time of day or night (under 19s).
      Samaritans β€” 116 123. Free, day or night, for anyone who is struggling.
      SHOUT β€” text SHOUT to 85258 if you would rather type than talk.
      999 β€” if someone is in danger right now.
      PawSteps is a calm place to come, not a crisis service. Real help is always the braver choice.
