  43. Wellbeing SESSION - top tips • Exercise - your body releases different chemicals into your brain which are your body’s natural happy chemicals and they help to raise your mood. • Food - different foods can affect your mood in different ways, therefore, eating regular healthy meals can aid mental health. • Talking - importance of talking about your feelings to a friend, family member or professional is a good form of release and the understanding of someone else can be a great support. • Relaxation - the importance to take time for yourself to giving your body and mind a chance to slow down, relax and have the space to tackle the challenges ahead. • Laughter and Fun - lowers certain stress and anxiety hormones in the brain and even calms and relaxes the brain in the process. • Support - if you are worried, don’t be afraid to speak to your friends, family or teachers at school - there is someone out there willing and waiting to help you.
