5 Steps to Wellbeing

We all have mental health and we do not need to wait until there is a problem before we look after our wellbeing. Following the MAGIC ‘5 Steps to Wellbeing’ can help us to stay well.

Mindful - be more aware of the present moment, including your thoughts and feelings, your body and the world around you. Some people call this awareness 'mindfulness'. It can positively change the way you feel about life and how you approach challenges.

Active - find an activity that you enjoy and make it a part of your life.

Generous - Give to others - even the smallest can count, whether it is a smile, a thank you or a kind word.

Interested - learning new skills can give you a sense of achievement and a new confidence.

Connected - connect with people around you.
