Privacy: Time that’s just for you!
Written by Ezra Hewing, Head of Mental Health Education, Suffolk Mind
Time for you in a demanding world
The need for privacy is about having time just for you. As important as it is to be connected up to other people, close friends and loved ones, as well as the wider community, we also need to unplug and have downtime.
All of us need time out to reflect and process and the challenges we face in our day to day lives – which can be especially difficult in a demanding world.
