Keeping Mentally Fit and Sane

Here's five daily steps to keep yourself mentally fit and sane.

They're from a study in England and have been peer reviewed, so that's saying these are verified, doable, proven, easy steps that will keep you from going bonkers in these turbulent time.

They seem like common sense to me, but I guess not everyone does each of these every day.

Seems like it'd be a good habit to get into.

Steps to Happiness

  • Connect - Developing relationships with family, friends, colleagues and neighbours will enrich your life and bring you support
  • Be active - Sports, hobbies such as gardening or dancing, or just a daily stroll will make you feel good and maintain mobility and fitness
  • Be curious - Noting the beauty of everyday moments as well as the unusual and reflecting on them helps you to appreciate what matters to you
  • Learn - Fixing a bike, learning an instrument, cooking – the challenge and satisfaction brings fun and confidence
  • Give - Helping friends and strangers links your happiness to a wider community and is very rewarding
