7 Ways to Enhance Your Well-Being
A sense of well-being doesn’t need to cost a fortune and we’ve outlined some easy ways to improve health and wellness.
- Walking
Walking is completely free, and you only need comfortable shoes. Commit to walking a few days a week at an intensity that is comfortable.
- Meditate
Once you know how to meditate it will help to calm your mind. Focusing on your breathing reduces negativity and can help manage anxiety and pain.
- Get Creative
Adult colouring books are a great way to manage stress. Alternatively grab a piece of paper and get doodling or even create something from nature.
- Get a Pet
Pet owners enjoy lower levels of anxiety, stress and depression. If owning a pet isn’t practical then volunteer at an animal shelter or visit friends with pets.
- Get Social
Having a good network of friends is important and social support reduces stress, increases quality of life and health.
- Laugh
Laughter increases good hormones and can decrease blood pressure and your heart rate. It can also strengthen your immune system.
- Sleep
Deep and restful sleep is essential for your well-being. If needed, change your sleeping habits to increase sleep quality. Turn off the screen at least 45 minutes before bedtime and take the time out to relax before you go to bed.
