The Great Escape
With many of us working from home, going to the same shops, and desperately dreaming of trips away, the same old views are becoming a bit meh... luckily you can now officially swap your view! Try WindowSwap and be transported across the globe to someone else's lovely window. You can even submit your own and share our beautiful Yorkshire surroundings with the world.
For more of an audio treat, try Soundscapes for Wellbeing, a mammoth collection of calming sounds from the BBC archives.
Mental Health Support
We're ticking off today's Action for Happiness calendar by sharing a super helpful video about the mental health services for you in Kirklees. Not only does our mental health affect the way we see the world, it also changes the way we act in it and respond to challenges. Whether or not you think you're having problems with your mental health, we can all look to improve our mental wellbeing to help us lead happier lives.
Are You a Caregiver?
A caregiver is a paid or unpaid member of a person's social network who helps them with activities of daily living. If you're a carer, find out everything you need to know about being a carer in lockdown. And reach out to Carers Count who give advice and support to anyone who looks after a family member or friend in Kirklees.
Mamma Mia!
We're always talking about exercise, but is it even good for us?
YES! and it's even better when accompanied by the Mamma Mia soundtrack or the legend that is Queen. Not only does exercise and music boost your mood and improve your overall health, it could also be a great way to spend time with friends and have a laugh over a video call. Get out the flares, it's time to dance!
