Feel better with the 5 ways to wellbeing
Why this matters
Good mental health helps you sleep better, feel better, do what matters to you and build positive relationships. It also makes it easier to cope when life is difficult. Looking after your mental health isn’t just for when you feel low or stressed—it’s worth investing in all the time, just like your physical health.
What are the 5 ways?
Research suggests five simple actions can improve how we feel and function:
- Be active – move your body in ways that work for you.
- Connect – build strong, supportive relationships.
- Give – do something kind for someone else.
- Keep learning – try new things and stay curious.
- Take notice – pay attention to the present moment.
