‘Five ways to wellbeing’ was developed by NEF and is currently being promoted by Mind, the UK mental health charity. Simply put, it’s a framework to help us look after our mental and emotional health:
- Connect – with other people, a fundamental human need
- Be active – physical activity helps our mental and emotional state, as well as our bodies
- Take notice – of what’s going on around you, now
- Keep learning – learning new things helps keep us engaged and active
- Give – doing something to help someone else makes us feel good
