5 ways to wellbeing
What I’ve learnt throughout my coaching and leadership career is, “our health is our wealth” so what can you do to make sure you lead a healthy, happy and wealthy life?
Foresight’s ‘Mental capital and wellbeing’ project considered how to improve everyone’s mental capital and mental wellbeing through life.
Evidence suggests that a small improvement in wellbeing can help to decrease some mental health problems and also help people to flourish. This document, produced by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) on behalf of Foresight, sets out 5 actions to improve personal wellbeing:
- connect
- be active
- take notice
- keep learning
- give
How satisfied are you with your current levels of activity under each of the headings on a scale of 1-10?
What small steps do you need to take each day to improve your current satisfaction levels?
What support do you need and from whom to help you take the small steps forward?
How will you celebrate your success?
What reward will you give yourself for your achievements?
Over the coming weeks I will be sharing with you some ideas on what you could do to improve your current satisfaction levels and also what small steps I have taken to improve my overall health and wellbeing.
