5 Ways To Wellbeing

The 5 Ways to Wellbeing was developed for the government by the New Economics Foundation. There are 5 key areas of your life to manage to improve your wellbeing. These are at the core of the work we do with our clients.

The 5 Ways to Wellbeing are: 

  1. Connect - 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 developing them. Building these connections will support and enrich you every day.
  2. Take notice - Be curious. Catch sight of the beautiful. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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, linked to the wider community can be incredibly rewarding and creates connections with the people around you.
  5. 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.
    Wellbeing comprises of two main elements: feeling good and functioning well. Feelings of happiness, contentment, enjoyment, curiosity, and engagement are characteristic of someone who has a positive experience of their life. Our functioning in the world is equally important for wellbeing. Experiencing positive relationships, having some control over one’s life, and having a sense of purpose are all important attributes of wellbeing.
