Wellbeing

Evidence suggests there are 5 steps you can take to improve your mental health and wellbeing which are used by charities such as Mind, the NHS, and many other organisations.

Trying these things could help you feel more positive and able to get the most out of life:

5 ways to wellbeing, 1. Connect - Connecting with the people around us is a great way to remind ourselves that we’re important and valued by others.

2. Be Active - By regularly engaging in some form of exercise we can look after our mental and physical health at the same time

3. Take Notice - Taking notice of our thoughts, emotions and surroundings is a great way to stay present and pay attention to our needs. Taking notice of things, we’re grateful for, big or small, is a great way to boost our mood and appreciate our surroundings.

4. Keep Learning - Learning new things is a good way to meet new people and boost our self conﬁdence, which in turn improves our mental health and wellbeing.

5. Give - Research has found a link between doing good things and an increase in wellbeing.

The Power of Sleep

The NHS state that nearly one in three of us suffer from poor sleep, and the Mental Health Foundation found that nearly (48%) of UK adults agreed that sleeping badly has a negative effect on their mental health.

Quality sleep is essential to good mental health and living a happy life.

It's important we take time to raise awareness of this, and learn more about sleep and its impacts.
