Wellbeing

Wellbeing describes our happiness, confidence, physical condition and general outlook on life. It is about feeling good and taking care of yourself. By adopting a healthy attitude to life, we can improve our quality of living. Wellbeing is not just about avoiding illness and staying fit. It also depends on us making sound choices, remaining in control of our lifestyle and above all, enjoying ourselves!

Optimism, trust, self-respect and self reliance also make us happier. Showing gratitude and kindness lift our spirit. Having clear goals to work towards: a ‘sense of place’ and belonging, a coherent and positive view of the world and a belief that we are part of something bigger than ourselves can also foster wellbeing.
