1. Connect – connect with the people around you: your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. Spend time developing these relationships.

2. Be active – you don’t have to go to the gym. Take a walk, go cycling or play a game of football. Find an activity that you enjoy and make it a part of your life.

3. Keep learning – learning new skills can give you a sense of achievement and a new confidence. So why not sign up for that cooking course, start learning to play a musical instrument, or figure out how to fix your bike?

4. Give to others – even the smallest act can count, whether it’s a smile, a thank you or a kind word. Larger acts, such as volunteering at your local community centre, can improve your mental wellbeing and help you build new social networks.

5. Be mindful – be more aware of the present moment, including your thoughts and feelings, your body and the world around you. Some people calls this awareness ‘mindfulness’. It can positively change the way you feel about life and how you approach challenges.
1. I have no family or friends.
2. I can't walk.
3. Physical activity is virtually impossible and it's extremely tiring dealing with simple day-to-day affairs like eating and drinking.
4. I can barely afford to eat and get constant threats from extortionate rip-off energy companies let alone donate money.
5. I'm very mindful of everything around me, at any moment one wrong fall could result in death.

1 out of 5.

Although I deserve 5 out of 5 because it's the thought that counts.
