Five steps to improving your mental well-being
Based on an extensive review of the evidence, five simple steps were identified in the Foresight Mental Capital and Well-being Project about how people can improve their mental well-being.
1. Connect… With the people around you. With family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. At home, work, school or in your local community. Think of these as the cornerstones of your life and invest time in them. Building these connections will support and enrich you every day
2. Be active… Go for a walk or run. Step outside. Cycle. Play a game. Garden. Dance. Exercising makes you feel good. Most importantly, discover a physical activity you enjoy and that suits your level of mobility and fitness.
3. Take notice… Be curious. Catch sight of beautiful things. Remark on the unusual. Notice the changing seasons. Savour the moment, whether you are walking to work, eating lunch or talking to friends. Be aware of the world around you and what you are feeling. Reflecting on your experiences will help you appreciate what matters to you.
4. Keep learning… Try something new. Rediscover an old interest. Sign up for that course. Take on a different responsibility at work. Fix a bike. Learn to play an instrument or how to cook your favourite food. Set a challenge you will enjoy achieving. Learning new things will make you more confident as well as being fun.
5. Give … Do something nice for a friend, or a stranger. Thank someone. Smile. Volunteer your time. Join a community group. Look out, as well as in. Seeing yourself, and your happiness, as linked to the wider community can be incredibly rewarding and creates connections with the people around you.
a good video regards #mentalhealth - #JasonFox and #AldoKane really have been through hell, it's great to hear how they deal with things and apply it to stuff I have going on It really challenges the old "imposter syndrome" aswell!
here's a great article from the Manchester Evening News about #mentalhealth and keeping fit, I know it's dark and dreary outside but it's warm and light inside, why not go train with friends or make new ones

I can't wait for my back to get better so I can go training again, currently just doing an evening walk every day ... when it's not throwing it down!
