Day Five ……. #MentalHealthAwareness #SICAP #CKLP

Today is National Wellbeing Day – May 1st 2020

Our sense of wellbeing can be improved by taking some time to reflect on some of the following:

Positive Emotion:

 what positive/healthy experiences can I plan to do today (for example reading, music, food, games, exercise, meditation, learning and so on)
 what can I be grateful for today? (I am grateful for …. list 3 things)
 what small act of kindness can I do for someone else today?
 how can I help myself to take a moment of calm?

Engagement:

 what gives me enjoyment and makes me laugh?
 how can I use one or more of my strengths today?
 who can I connect with today (over the telephone, online, in reality)?
 in what way can I make a small positive difference to someone else?
 how can I show interest in another person or their work or hobbies?

Meaning:

 what goals can I set for today?

Accomplishment:

 what goals no matter how small can I achieve today?
 what challenge can I take on today?
 what will I do?

Be gentle on yourself and remember

“no matter what you’re going through, let’s stay connected and make it through, together” #InthisTogether
