It’s OK not to feel OK
Just like our physical fitness, we need to look after our mental health to feel good. When you’re not feeling OK, it’s ok to talk about this and ask for help. Visit our pages to get advice and support for any issues you are having. You are not alone.
Top tips for looking after your mental health
- Connect with other People – spend time with your friends and family, don’t rely only on social media and texting to keep in touch.
- Get Active – Do regular physical activity. You don’t have to spend hours in the gym, unless you want to. Find a physical activity you enjoy doing and make it part of your daily life.
- Learn New Skills – find something new to do and learn how to do it. Find something you enjoy that also challenges you.
- Be Kind – find a way to help other people. This doesn’t have to be a really big thing and sometimes the small things can really make a difference. Take time to check in with a friend and ask them how they are, say thank you to someone who has helped you, get involved in volunteering in your local community.
- Pay Attention – Notice what is going on for you now, in the present moment. People often call this Mindfulness.
