5 Ways to Wellbeing
Connect
With the people around you. With family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. At home, work, school or in your local community.
Be active
Go for a walk or run. Step outside. Cycle. Play a game. Garden. Dance. Exercising makes you feel good. Do something you enjoy.
Take notice
Be curious. Catch sight of the beautiful. Remark on the unusual. Notice the changing seasons and be aware of the world around you.
Keep learning
Try something new. Rediscover an old interest. Sign up for that course. Take on a different responsibility at work. Fix a bike.
Give
Do something nice for a friend, or a stranger. Thank someone. Smile. Volunteer your time. Join a community group.

What are the Five Ways of Wellbeing?
The Five Ways to Wellbeing were developed by think tank New Economics Foundation (NEF) from evidence gathered by the UK government’s Foresight Project on Mental Capital and Wellbeing, which drew on evidence about mental wellbeing throughout life. The Five Ways have been used by health organisations, schools and community projects across the UK and around the world to help people take action to improve their wellbeing.
