Five Ways to Wellbeing


Today, at the Indigo Project evaluation meet-up, I mentioned to some folk the way that, to my mind, many of the areas we are working with in this project involve Wellbeing. For instance, the way in which we met up and 'connected' today provided us with support and creative exchanges, and was, I felt, empowering. The Five Ways to Wellbeing (summarised, above) are a simple toolkit of principles which, taken together, are likely to enhance good mental health and wellbeing. Working with these 'Ways', you can makes small changes which add up to real benefits - both, for you and your workplace and community.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step...

As it so happens, I am on the management committee of the Norfolk Wellbeing Forum, and I write a blog where I reflect on ways to enhance wellbeing. If you want to find out more, then click on the fish (on a dish?), below...

The Den of Denial...



Oh dear, what have we here? I think we're looking at is a classic piling system.

I work from home, and, as you can see I've got myself in a bit of a mess. Among my immediate family I have the reputation for my stacks of stuff. I've tucked all this behind a curtain; out of sight out of mind - it's a kind of denial den!

So what am I to do. My advisor, Trish, has suggested that I tackle a bit of this at a time. I mentioned that my wife and oldest daughter are really good at organising and filing. If they have the skills and they can teach me, then I'll be able to maintain a sustainable information retrieval system.

As we begin to create order I will upload some pictures to chart the transformation to tidiness.
