Five ways to wellbeing

The things that we do and the way that we think affects our wellbeing. The New Economics Foundation identified five ways to improve wellbeing. These are: connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and give. Each of these actions makes a positive difference to how we feel, being aware of and combining these will make a difference

• Connect – with your friends, family, neighbours and people at work. Have a conversation, pass the time of day, make time for that chat
• Be Active – find a physical activity that you enjoy, go for a walk, try gardening
• Take Notice – take the time to look at the day, the changing seasons. Savour the moment
• Keep Learning – try something new whether it’s making a new recipe, fixing the bike or even signing up for a course
• Give – smile, do something nice for a friend or neighbour, make some time for others
