Control...
Move It’s good for your body – it’s good for your brain – it will also make you feel happier :)
Eat Your body needs loads of water and healthy food so it can build healthy cells full of Life. You can eat treats too!
Cut Bad habits push you down as much as positive habits lift you up. Being high on caffeine, alcohol, smoking or drugs can make situations look much worse than they really are.
Connect People need people. Spend time with other humans. Message, Skype, Zoom or WhatsApp people, play games together online or even in real life.
Give Give time, give help, give support, volunteer, gift a gift. Thinking of others and helping people actually changes your mood and how you feel – honestly try it.
Pause Step away from social media — turn **off **the news — turn down the noise. Your mind is incredible. It gathers information from everything you see, read or hear. Sometimes that creates a storm — be careful what you let in.
Look Slow down — pay attention to the thoughts — notice feelings. It can help you learn what stresses you out. Take some deep slow breaths — then look again.
Be curious Try something new — explore — research — pick up a hobby. It doesn’t matter what it is — keeping your brain active keeps it happy. Try drums. Your family will love it.
Dream Grab little ted & head to bed. A good night’s sleep makes a big difference to how you feel. Habits really do work — try to keep to the same bedtime and wake up every day!
Smile This is like a magic trick — you don't have to feel good to smile. Smile first — it releases feel good hormones then you smile for real. The other way is to be grateful. Grateful for everything you can think of — write it down. It just makes you feel better. Have a gratitude attitude.
