  33. CONNECT ! Connect with family, friends, colleagues, neighbours. At home, work, school or 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 your every day.

  34. 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 a new language or to play an instrument or or how to cook different food. Set a challenge that you will enjoy achieving. Learning new things will make you more confident . It will refresh your brain and create challenge, uncertainty and fun.

  35. BE ACTIVE … Go for a walk or a run. Step outside. Cycle. Play a game. Garden. Dance. Exercise makes you feel good. Most importantly, discover an activity that fits your lifestyle. Level of mobility and fitness. Activity refreshes and energises both body and mind

  36. 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. Take notice of the world around you and what you are feeling. Reflecting on your experiences will help you appreciate what really matters to you.

  37. GIVE…. Surprise or do something well meaning for a friend or stranger. Thank someone. Smile. Volunteer your time. Think about and act on the needs of others. These acts enable you to move from success to significance. They provide positive, higher level experiences that build resilience and worthiness.
