Wellbeing Strategies

Useful Information to help your health and wellbeing

How you can help you

Your health and wellbeing is so very important, please look after yourself well.

Whether it is sitting with a nice cup of tea, or standing outside doing some deep breathing, taking a few minutes away from your tasks can be enough to de-stress you!

Find something to do that makes you happy, be it sewing, reading walking, Yoga, painting, baking or perhaps just popping bubble wrap!

Get out into nature. Go for a country walk, sit quietly in the garden or local park. Even better, go with a friend!

Connect with others. Call a friend or family member rather than message them, it will make you feel better to hear their voice.

Treat yourself! Have a manicure, pedicure or massage. Go for coffee and a cake with a friend.

You Are Not Alone

Life may feel very challenging right now. It’s understandable that you may be feeling more stressed about many different aspects of your life including your health, your family, your business, your finances – it might feel like the list is endless.
But stress isn’t all bad and there are things you can do to help yourself if you’re struggling right now.

Need some time out?

Sometimes, as adults, we just need a timeout to refocus and gather ourselves before starting out again.

Making ‘me’ time a priority may seem selfish, but if you do it on a regular basis it can:

Reduce your stress levels
Help you be more productive
Improve your concentration
Boost your creativity
Make you feel refreshed
Strengthen your relationships
Boost your self-esteem

Spending time on yourself can mean lots of things. You may simply want to switch off your computer and phone and bask in 10 minutes of silence. Or you may want to escape from reality by reading a book or watching a film that helps your mind relax.

Whatever you do, try to do it fully and completely. So if you go for a walk, for instance, try not to listen to music or think about what’s on your to-do list at the same time. Just concentrate on the sights, smells and sounds around you as you walk.
