improved mental well-being can be achieved by

Answer 1

1. Connect – connect with the people around you, with family, friends, colleagues and neighbours, at home, work or in your local community. Social relationships are critical to our wellbeing.
2. Be active – exercise has been shown to improve mood and has been used successfully to reduce depression and anxiety. Participate regularly in a physical activity that you enjoy, and one that suits your level of mobility and fitness.
3. Take notice - practicing mindful awareness of sensations, thoughts and feelings can improve both the knowledge we have about ourselves, and our mental wellbeing. Reflecting on our experiences, and the things that we're grateful for, helps us to appreciate what matters to us.
4. Keep learning – learning encourages social interaction and increases self-esteem and feelings of competency. Striving towards personal goals that reflect deeply held values rather than being driven by external rewards is more likely to produce a lasting sense of satisfaction.
5. Give – practice "random acts of kindness", thanking someone, smiling, volunteering your time, and getting involved with your local community. Individuals actively engaged in their communities report higher wellbeing. Their efforts have a knock-on effect on others, creating positive social relationships and resilient communities.
