How to take care of your well-being during crunch time
As we’re all aware, it’s February,
and things are starting to pick up (maybe even more so than we may expect!) Which
begs the question, how well do you deal with stress during crunch time?
The term “well being,” according to
the folks at New Economics Foundation, is all about feeling good and
functioning well. The UK-based charity think tank, under the Mental Capital and
Wellbeing Project, released a report on the
5 Ways to Wellbeing, highlighting
key components of achieving optimal mental and physical wellbeing.
The report formed the basis of
long-term health planning across the pond, but we think the universal truths
bear repeating anywhere in the world.
1) Connect!
1) Connect!
Connect with the people around you. Find ways to forge connections
with the people in your life, whether it’d be at work, in your family or even
your community and beyond. When it comes to our mental wellbeing, people and
relationships matter.
2) Be Active!
2) Be Active!
Be active! Find an activity that fits into your lifestyle and makes
you feel good. Whether it’d be walking, running, dance or even yoga, it’s
highly recommended that staying active or having some form of daily movement
will assist in your overall wellbeing!
3) Be Mindful!
3) Be Mindful!
Take notice of your surroundings, the small things in life, and
start bringing back a sense of appreciation! If you’re feeling the stress of the
everyday, taking a moment to stop and reflect can open your mind and
perspective to a myriad of things. It can help shape things into perspective,
and allow you to re-organize when you’re feeling a little rattled!
4) Learn!
4) Learn!
Keep learning! Lifelong
learning is known to boost confidence. It can also inject a little bit of fun
back into your life! Sign up for classes, take on new responsibilities, set
goals (perhaps a few reading goals?) and challenge yourself whenever you can!
5) Give!
5) Give!
Giving! Philanthropy
strengthens connections in the community and builds your positive self-image
when those actions are directly linked your own happiness. Giving back doesn’t
have to be huge or monetary. Start small, with your time, attention or even gratitude.
Perhaps, start with one or two and see how you're feeling from there! Just remember, crisis passes and you'll always come out of a tough situation, much stronger!
