Mental Wellbeing

We all have bad days (and sometimes weeks), but that's okay - it's normal!

How can I boost my mental wellbeing?

There are lots of ways that you can boost your mental wellbeing, like these 5 Ways to Wellbeing from Mind:

1. Connect - stay connected with loved ones, make plans to see them, give them a call or speak to somebody new.
2. Be active - take part in regular physical exercise - this is a great way to boost your mental wellbeing.
3. Take notice - you could get a new plant for your work place, take notice of how your friends are feeling or active or take a 'clear the clutter day'.

Why am I feeling like this?

Sometimes we're unsure how we're feeling or why we're feeling a certain way. Getting out these feelings can help you to understand how you are exactly feeling, why you're feeling like that and help you to feel better. You could:

• Write down your feelings or reasons you may be feeling like this
• Draw a mind map to display your feelings
• Draw a picture which shows how your feeling
• Write a letter to yourself, telling yourself how you're feeling

If you're going through a busy time and it's causing you to feel down, creating a 'to do' list is a great way to make sure you get everything done in time, have a clearer head - being able to cross each task off is also a great way to boost your mood.
