Five ways to wellbeing
TAKE ACTION TO PROMOTE CHANGE!The ‘Five ways to wellbeing’ have been identified as simple actions that anyone can take to have a positive impact on their day to day wellbeing. Why not try building on these five actions to see if they can make a difference to your wellbeing. Colley Lane’s Wellbeing Warriors recently received some training on the Five Ways to Wellbeing and have been putting their new skills to good use in the playground. Connect - Spend time with friends and family, connect with others in a meaningful way Be Active - Movement is very important for mental health, take a walk in nature or join an exercise class. Keep Learning - Read a book or research something you are interested in. Learning makes us feel good and boosts our self esteem. Take Notice - A reminder to be aware of your feelings, stop and take notice. Give - Be kind and helpful to others. Volunteer work, helping out in the community.
