Connect.
Keep learning.
Be active.
Give to others.
And take notice.
Here are just a few examples of how people fit these steps
into their daily lives.
Connect.
Joining the local football team helped me meet people
and made me feel part of my community.
Keep learning.
I've just started learning to play a musical instrument
and as well as being really fun,
it's really rewarding when you get a new piece right.
Be active.
I've got two left feet,but I still enjoy dancing.
It energises me and it puts me in a good mood.
Give to others.
If I know a friend's having a hard time,
I'll make an effort to check up on them regularly and see how they are.
Take notice.
I find cooking so calming, as I'm totally focused on what I'm doing.
I switch off from the day's stresses
and it also allows me to express my creative side.
Lots of activities fulfil more than one of these five steps.
