Wellbeing
Keeping well
Mental wellbeing means feeling good about yourself and the world around you. The NHS recommends that taking the following five steps can help in staying well.
- Connect and develop relationships with people around you, as building strong social connections can help us feel happier and more secure and give us a sense of purpose.
- Be active – find an activity that you enjoy and make it part of your life.
- Keep learning and gain new skills.
- Give to others – whether with a small gesture such as a smile or kind word or by volunteering.
- Be mindful – be more aware of the present moment, and thoughts and feelings.
