Five Ways To Wellbeing
Connect
Connect with the people around you: with family, friends, colleagues and neighbours, at home, work, school or in your local community. Think of these as the cornerstones of your life and invest time in developing them. Building these connections will support and enrich you every day.
Be Active
Go for a walk or run, step outside, cycle, play a game, garden or dance – exercising makes you feel good. Most be active importantly; discover a physical activity you enjoy and that suits your level of mobility and fitness.
Take Notice
Be curious, catch sight of the beautiful, remark on the unusual, notice the changing seasons, savour the moment and be aware of the world around you and what you are feeling.
Keep Learning
Try something new, rediscover an old interest, sign up for that course, take on a different responsibility at work, set learning a challenge you enjoy achieving – Learning new things will make you more confident as well as being fun.
Give
Do something nice for a friend or a stranger, thank someone, smile, volunteer your time, join a community group – Seeing yourself and your happiness, as linked to the wider community can be incredibly rewarding and creates connections with the people around you.
You don’t have to do all 5 actions everyday straight away but trying to try to do one or two can be a good place to start.
