#GettingThroughThisTogether

• Print it out: Print out your wellbeing plan and put it somewhere that will keep it front of mind, your fridge or your workspace may work well
• Lucky Dip: If you don’t have access to a printer or prefer to write things down, try writing the activities from your wellbeing plan on post it notes or pieces of paper. Place these in a jar or container and pick random activities to do during the day.
• Bingo: Make yourself a handmade Bingo card from your wellbeing activities. Pick activities to do at random and cross them off. Treat yourself when you finish a line of activities and hit Bingo! For bonus points, make it a group effort and play along with your family, friends, or colleagues
• Make it your screensaver: When something is visual it serves as a handy reminder to keep us accountable. Create a screensaver on your computer or phone with your wellbeing plan or activities as your daily self-care prompt.
• Set a reminder or alarm: set a reminder or alarm in your phone for ‘wellbeing time’. Making a conscious effort to prioritise self-care and stick to it gives you the best chance of success.
• Make a deal with a friend: share your wellbeing plan with a friend or family member and make a commitment to complete activities each day and share or discuss them together. You may even have the same activities that you can complete together (be mindful of any restrictions that may apply of course). This is a great way to connect with somebody you care for, while completing your own self-care activities.
• Pop it in your calendar: Mindfully set aside time in your calendar and make space for your personal wellbeing. Schedule 2 or 3 wellbeing breaks in your day each lasting about 5-10 minutes. Use this time to do activities from your wellbeing plan.

We suggest using the activities from your wellbeing plan as a guide to try out activities across the spectrum of the proven 5 ways to wellbeing method. Most importantly, keep it simple, it doesn’t need to be complicated or too much effort.

Start with one simple action of self-care each day and build from there.
