This is where your 5 a day for the mind comes to play.

The 5 a day for the mind or commonly called as Five Ways to Wellbeing are a set of evidence-based public mental health messages aimed at improving the mental health and wellbeing of the whole population. They were developed by NEF as the result of a commission by Foresight, the UK government’s futures think-tank, as part of the Foresight Project on Mental Capital and Wellbeing.

Learning will shape our skillsets for the future.
Robots, devices, bots are learning 24/7.

Soft skills are interpersonal, or people, skills.
Hard skills are quantifiable and teachable; they include specific knowledge and abilities required for a job.
Hybrid skills are a combination of technical and non-technical skills.
Job-specific employment skills are those necessary for a particular position.

Learning means different things to everyone. To some it will be a new qualification and to others it will be learning a new recipe in the kitchen.
Evidence shows that continuing to learn throughout life can help improve and maintain our mental wellbeing.
Mental Wellbeing means feeling good about yourself and the world around you and being able to get on with your life the way you choose.
Learning new ‘things’ can boost your self-confidence, self-esteem, build a sense of purpose and help us connect with others.

If we want to keep up and stay ahead, we need CONNECT.

Make time each day to connect with your family, friends and colleagues. This could include ‘family time’ that is a fixed time to connect each day

Arrange a day out with friends you may not have connected with recently. Most people connect on social media sites like Facebook but a face to face contact spending your time with your friends is so much more meaningful and beneficial than a “like” or “comment” on Facebook.

Reduce your screen time when you are in company. Put the phone away, close your laptop, turn off the TV and have a chat.

Try connecting with someone new today. Talk to the person beside you on the train or in the shop. This conversation may mean even more to the person you connect with than you realise.

Leave your desk for your lunch and sit with a colleague catching up on non-work matters.
It can be as simple as a smile at a passer-by.

If we want to keep up and stay ahead, we need TO BE ACTIVE

Exercising releases endorphins that make us feel good. The simpliest way to think about it is healthy body = healthy mind.

Being active doesn’t have to mean the gym, triathlons or lifting weights (though those are great and will give you a big sense of achievement).
Just find the activity that fits into your daily life. You get bonus points if it includes a friend or being out in nature. Go for a walk, try yoga, join a team sport or just dance in your kitchen when you're cooking. Leave your car at home one day and walk or cycle.
Exercise beats stress and makes us feel good about ourselves. Regular exercise is also linked to better sleep.

If we want to keep up and stay ahead, TAKE NOTICE.

It is easy to rush through daily life without stopping to notice much. Paying attention to the present moment – to our own thoughts, feelings and to the world around you can improve your mental wellbeing.

Taking Notice is also called Mindfulness. It is easy to incorporate mindfulness into your life and can be a very powerful tool if learnt and practiced daily.
Mental wellbeing means being feeling good about life and yourself and having the ability to get on with life in the way you want.
Many think about wellbeing in terms of what you have; your income, car, house or job. Evidence shows that what we do and the way we think have the biggest impact on wellbeing.

To Take Notice is to notice the sights, smells, sounds and tastes you experience as well as your thoughts and feelings that occur from one moment to the next.
It’s easy to lose touch with the way our bodies are feeling and to end up living in our heads. An important part of Taking Notice is to reconnect with our bodies and the sensations they are experiencing. It can be something as simple as the feel of your knife and fork in your hands.
When we become more aware of the present moment we begin to experience afresh many things in the world around us we have been taking for granted.Professor Willem Kuyken, Prof Clinical Psychology at the Oxford Mindfulness Centre.
