Positive mental wellbeing is when we are able to develop our own potential, work productively and creatively, feel confident and able to meet the demands of everyday life.
This includes:
- Forming strong and positive relationships with others, feeling connected and supported
- Living life with purpose and meaning and making a contribution to our communities
- Doing things that make us feel content, joyful and give us peace of mind
- Learning to recognise and handle stress in a more positive way
We all experience challenges or situations in life that we find difficult, however if we make small changes to our lifestyle this can have a big impact on the way we think, feel and deal with these challenges.
The way we think and feel is also closely related to our physical health.
