  • Be active
    Sports, hobbies such as gardening or dancing, or just a daily stroll will make you feel good and maintain mobility and fitness
  • Be curious
    Noting the beauty of everyday moments as well as the unusual and reflecting on them helps you to appreciate what matters to you

    Fixing a bike, learning an instrument, cooking – the challenge and satisfaction brings fun and confidence

    Helping friends and strangers links your happiness to a wider community and is very rewarding
