What can I do to help look after myself?

The Five Ways to Wellbeing:

  • Connect
  • Be active
  • Take notice
  • Keep learning
  • Give

Connect: Spend time with family and friends. Enjoy doing things together and speaking with each other.

Be active: Go for a walk or other form of exercise to be out of the house and enjoy some fresh air and take in the sights and sounds of nature.

Take notice: Relax, take a break, listen to some music, take some deep breaths.

Keep learning: Try something new; this could be a new hobby or sport or learn about something you are interested in.

Give: Do something for someone else.

Listen to music

Music can relax you, connect you to your emotions and distract you from worrying thoughts.

  • Listen to your favourite songs. Turn up the volume and dance or sing along, or put your headphones on and close your eyes.
  • Really listen to the music. Can you pick out different instruments? Can you hear a drum beat or a certain rhythm? Focus on the music, and let other thoughts fade away.
