Take 5 steps to wellbeing

Why not take the first steps…

Most of us know when we are mentally and physically well, but sometimes we need a little extra support to keep well.

There are five simple actions to help maintain and improve your emotional wellbeing in everyday life. Try to build these in to your daily life – think of them as your ‘five a day’ for emotional wellbeing.

These are:

Give – volunteer your time. Thank someone. Smile.

Be active – any amount of physical activity is good for you.

Connect – with the people around you, friends or colleagues.

Keep learning – don’t be afraid to try something new.

Take notice – be aware of the world around you.

We are encouraging everyone to Take 5 steps to wellbeing every day!
