5 Steps for Happiness

(1) Connect
Developing relationships with family, friends, colleagues and neighbours will enrich your life and bring you support
(2) Be active
Sports, hobbies such as gardening or dancing, or just a daily stroll will make you feel good and maintain mobility and fitness
(3) 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
(4) Learn
Fixing a bike, learning an instrument, cooking – the challenge and satisfaction brings fun and confidence
(5) Give
Helping friends and strangers links your happiness to a wider community and is very rewarding
