5 Ways to feel well and happy this christmas

The 5 Ways to Wellbeing  (scroll down on the page to find the link) offer a framework to help you look after your mental wealth and energy and put you in the best place to relax and enjoy winter festivities.

Give to yourself as well as others in all the busyness

Connect - listen and have meaningful conversations. Enjoy the company of the people you're sharing time with. Get in touch with people you know who might be alone or need a little encouragement

Take Notice - If you're feeling stretched, frustrated, frazzled, tired... do you need to pause, to stretch, have an honest conversation, ask for a bit of help?  Notice how others might be feeling - what do they need?  Remember to enjoy sights, sounds, tastes and experiences through all your 5 senses 

Be Active - get some fresh air, go for a walk, stretch, play a game, dance

Keep Learning - tradition is comforting and new traditions are energising and fun - what do you want that's new and different this year?


See you in January!
