Having a sense of wellbeing is important – keeping to a routine, getting up and dressed, eating at regular times, drinking plenty of fluids and keeping a regular sleeping pattern is central to maintaining wellbeing.
It sounds so simple! But we know that these routines can slip when we are faced with difficulties in our lives. You may find that your physical and mental health starts to deteriorate, and you begin to worry about how you will find your sense of wellbeing again.
There are positive steps you can take to regain a sense of wellbeing. Evidence shows there are five steps you can take to improve your sense of wellbeing. Trying these things could help you feel more positive and get the most out of life.
Knowing where to look for information, support or advice is very important. To take the right decisions for yourself, you need to be informed and aware of what is available. The information in this section will point you in the direction of services, support and advice that may be of help now or the future.
