5 Ways to Wellbeing
Scroll through the 5 Ways to Wellbeing in more detail below:
Connecting with the people around us is a great way to remind ourselves that we’re important and valued by others.
Arrange to meet people regularly, reach out to someone, talk, listen and feel connected.
Taking notice of our thoughts, emotions and surroundings is a great way to stay present and pay attention to our needs.
Take up a mindful hobby like knitting or journaling.
Allocate time to reflect on what went well that day.
Do something kind for a friend or relation/adult, as well as making them feel good, it can make you feel good too!
This could include small acts of kindness, like helping someone with their school work, or larger ones like volunteering in your local community.
Learning new things is a good way of boosting our self confidence, which in turn improves our mental health and wellbeing.
Try out a new recipe, try to learn a new language or even learn something new about the people around you.
Moving our bodies regularly is a great way of looking after our mental and physical health at the same time.​
Depending on your ability you could try stretching, having a kick-about in a local park, joining a sports club or taking a walk in the woods with your friends & family.
