Taking part in activities, learning relaxation techniques, new recipes and eating healthier and better foods can help boost your mood and improve your overall emotional and physical wellbeing.
The ‘5 ways to wellbeing’ looks at the five things you can do to feel healthier and happier.
- Connect – say hello to your neighbour, keep in touch with people
- Be active – do the garden or make time for a walk
- Take notice – stimulate your senses: listen to music or watch a film
- Keep learning – try something new or rediscover an old interest
- Give – hold the door open, smile and give compliments
