What does wellbeing mean for me?

Our mental wellbeing can often change and you might find your personal life or time at work is suffering if you feel down or not quite your normal self.

There are many things about life and work that can affect our mental wellbeing. You may develop a mental health issue because of stress at work, or you may find your emotional wellbeing suffers from a bereavement or experiencing a traumatic event.

You should not feel embarrassed about having difficulties with your mental health, or feel you have to pretend you are ok to remain professional at work. If you think you could do with some help with your mental wellbeing find out more about Able Futures and what it could do for you.

Ways to maintain good mental wellbeing

There are some small things you can do to help you enjoy life and be kinder to yourself.

  • Connect with other people to help you feel friendly and happier.
  • Learn something new to help build your confidence.
  • Give a little thought or time in an act of generosity, which can reduce stress.
  • Activity releases chemicals in your brain to help you concentrate, feel and sleep better.
