Tomorrow is 29 February – a bonus day that we only get every four years.

And while I appreciate that lots of people will have to work and realistically it’s just another day – how about for a moment we think about what we could do with an extra day.

Everyone is time poor – we spend time rushing from one place to another, trying to fit everything in. Pressurised jobs which often extend outside of our core hours; family – younger and older relatives - who need our time; managing our homes and our lives.

• How much time do you spend on yourself?
• How often do you find time just for you?
• Are you rushing to fit that yoga or gym session in around everything else?

  So what would you do for you if you had a bonus day?

• Would it be more time for you to spend with family or friends?
• Time to spend on exercise?
• A chance to get out into nature and have a proper look around you?
• Time to read a book?
• An opportunity for you to talk to someone about how you really feel?

  Me? Tomorrow I will be walking along the north east coast with great friends.

  I hope you manage to find, if not a bonus day, at least some bonus time – just for you.
