Our physical and emotional wellbeing can help us to feel good about ourselves and the world around us.

Happiness, enjoyment, self–confidence and self–esteem are feelings of positive mental wellbeing. 

When we experience positive wellbeing we feel able to get the most out of our lives and we can cope better with life’s ups and downs. 

When we are stressed, worried or feeling low the most unhelpful thing we can do is turn to something unhealthy to help us cope, such as smoking or drinking. 

Eating well, exercising and connecting with the world around us can make us feel happier as well as being good for our health.
