Wellbeing essentials toolkit
There are simple and effective strategies you can take to improve your wellbeing, which will make you feel more positive and able to get more out of life. The Mental Health Foundation has grouped these evidence-based actions in to “Five Ways to Wellbeing”
To make a start, try introducing new daily/weekly wellbeing activities into your routine; these can be as little as five minutes a day. Try one the activities listed in the The Five Ways to Wellbeing to Wellbeing at Work Toolkit. Or there are examples below:
- Connect: Schedule social gatherings
- Keep learning: Join our Wellbeing Workshops
- Take notice: Take time out for you
- Be active: Move for your mental health
- Give: Support the people around you
Reach out to the people around you (friends, family and colleagues).
Connecting with others is vital to our wellbeing. Why not schedule a regular slot for some social team time, whether that be virtual coffee break or quiz night? Set some ground rules:
- Open up the space for people to talk about their general wellbeing and not work-related tasks.
- Make sure colleagues know that their participation is optional; they don’t need to feel under pressure to share.
- Stick to a regular time slot and plan a finishing time
