Personal Space Tool

Concept: Noticing the physical space around us see our own needs and how we may be impacting others. In addition, this tool encompasses intelligence through awareness of our body wisdom: body language sensations, gestures, position, posture, voice tone, quality and volume.

Tagline: I have a right to my space and so do you.

Hand Gesture: Out stretch hands in front, palms forward with relaxed elbows. Slowly move hands apart and together again, delineating a curved boundary around you.

We all have a right to our personal space and the responsibility to give others the same right. Noticing the physical space around us helps us see our own needs and how we may be impacting others.

We all have the need for a certain amount of space around us.

● The amount of space we need around us to feel comfortable can change, depending on the situation.

● Not everyone will need the same amount of space around them, but it is important to know how much space we want to be able to ask for more or maybe less space.

It is important to know how much space we want, and be able to ask for more (or maybe less) space.

● It is equally important to respect the boundaries of others.

● We should never go closer to a person than he or she is comfortable with.

● Body language, gestures, position, posture, voice tone, and volume are all a part of communication and they all have impact on Personal Space.
