SELF-CARE TIPS

Here are some happiness basics to help you or others who may be feeling low. Firstly, please remember....

It's ok to not be ok. Many people are struggling to cope and going through a range of emotions during this time is very common and understandable.

Three helpful ideas to focus on:

You are never alone. Tell someone you trust how you feel. And if you have no-one nearby then you can call a helpline (see below) for a friendly chat.

Get the basics right. Make time for yourself, eat healthily, get plenty of sleep and exercise, connect with loved ones and try to notice what’s good.

Seek professional help. Ask your doctor or local health service about potential support which might help, such as counselling or talking therapy.

There are helplines you can call at any time for a friendly chat, such as Samaritans or other similar crisis lines wherever you are in the world.

TAKE ACTION

Three ways you can celebrate the International Day of Happiness:

Happier

Do something for your own happiness - make time to do something you really enjoy, get moving outside, learn something new or write down three things you’re grateful for.

Kinder

Do something for someone else - donate to a food bank or charity, text or call someone to tell them what you appreciate about them, volunteer in your local community.

Together

Share the International Day Of Happiness with others and help more people get involved in the day and thinking about ways to promote happiness and mental health.
