The five ways to wellbeing

www.mentalhealth.org.nz —

Ētahi ara e rima ki te ngākau ora, help people stay mentally well.

'The Five Ways to Wellbeing' were created as a result of the New Economics Foundation's (NEF) Foresight Project on Mental Capital and Wellbeing research report. NEF conducted a review of the most up-to-date evidence and found that building five actions into day to day lives is important for the wellbeing of individuals, families, communities and organisations. The five actions are:

  1. Connect, me whakawhanaunga

  2. Give, tukua

  3. Take notice, me aro tonu

  4. Keep learning, me ako tonu

  5. Be active, me kori tonu

You can introduce any of these actions into your life, any time, and you will begin to feel the benefits. Whakatōkia ngā rautaki māmā nei ki tō ao kia rongo ai koe i ngā painga.

Read the Five Ways to Wellbeing Best Practice Guide, and visit each of our Five Ways to Wellbeing pages to get some ideas on how to begin. Start small, work at it – and good luck!
