How are you really feeling?
It’s a question you may often ask other people, but how often do you stop to check in with how you are really feeling?
We all get days when we feel sad, anxious or low, but if how you are feeling is having an impact on your day-to-day life, help is available.

Looking after your mental wellbeing
Are you looking after yourself?
There are plenty of things you can do to boost your mental health and wellbeing:
- Ensure you get a good night’s sleep
- Connect with friends and family
- Stay active
Do you take enough time for yourself?
Life can be so busy and we can be so focused on looking after everyone else that it’s easy to forget to make time for ourselves.
