Point your health in the right direction

The importance of emotional wellbeing for health at any stage of life is well documented. Evidence suggests that health is reliant on a person feeling confident, positive, optimistic, in-control & being able to cope with the ups & downs of life. Where emotional wellbeing exists, the risk of illness & ill health declines. This link becomes more important with advancing age, as the prevalence of illness increases. Growing research suggests that emotional & psychological wellbeing is a protective factor for health & can promote longevity.

Benefits of emotional wellbeing • improved relationships & social skills

• improved physical health • improved self-confidence • improved optimism • improved sense of control

• improved resilience (ability to cope with adversity) • improved sleep • improved eating patterns

Top Tips • build & nurture relationships (family, friends & social groups) • develop interests/hobbies • balance time for work & relaxation • ask for & accept help • get physically active

• eat well & nourish your body • connect with nature • clear clutter & tidy up • think positive
