Talk about your feelings
Talking about how you are feeling can help to alleviate the situation and deal with times of stress
Keep active
Regular exercise can boost your mental health, self-esteem, confidence and help you sleep better
Eat well
A diet that is good for your physical health is good for your mental health
Drink sensibly
Alcohol can affect your mood, and only provides a temporary solution to manage difficult problems
Keep in touch
Catching up with friends and family ensures you don’t become isolated and can boost your mental health
Ask for help
None of us are superhuman! If things are getting to much for you, please talk to someone, either friends/family, your trainer/assessor or our Mental Health Coordinator, Annette Davey.
Annette can be contacted on adavey@skillsgroupuk.com or 07872 409897.
Take a break
A change of scene or pace is good, it could be a five minute pause, a lunch break at work or a weekend away. A few minutes can be enough to de-stress you
Do something you are good at
Doing an activity you enjoy probably means you’re good at it, and achieving something boosts your self-esteem
Accept who you are
We are all different. It’s much healthier to accept that you’re unique than to wish you were more like someone else
Care for others
Caring for others is an important part of building successful relationships, which can be vital when dealing with different situations
