5 Ways to Wellbeing
Just like eating 5 portions of fruit & vegetables a day can improve our physical health, evidence suggests that doing these 5 everyday activities can make a significant improvement to our mental health.
​​
Connect​
Spending time with other people and building relationships is important for your mental wellbeing in terms of experiencing a sense of belonging & self-worth and both giving and receiving support.
​​
Learn
Learning new skills can boost your self-confidence and build a sense of purpose. There are lots of different ways to bring learning into your life from a new hobby, to a project or practical skill.
​​
Be Active
Being active is not only great for your physical health, getting your body moving causes chemical changes in your brain, which can help to positively change your mood.
​​
Take Notice
Paying more attention to the present moment can improve your mental wellbeing. Some people call this awareness “mindfulness”. Taking Notice can take many forms including relaxation and meditation or simply using all of your senses to really experience the here-and-now.
​​
Give
Acts of giving and kindness create positive feelings and provide a sense of reward. Even the smallest acts have this effect, like saying thank you to someone for something they have done for you.
​
5 things a day might seem like a lot, especially if your wellbeing has dipped, but doing just 5 little things – that might seem simple – together, can give your wellbeing a big boost!
​
Give it a go and see the difference that it could make to you!
