Be Informed
Evidence shows that being informed – continuing to increase your knowledge throughout life, can improve and maintain your mental wellbeing. It doesn’t have to mean getting more qualifications.
There are lots of different ways to bring learning into your life. For example, you could try something new, rediscover an old interest, take on a different responsibility at work, or develop a new skill. Set a challenge you will enjoy achieving. Learning new things will make you connect with others, be more confident, help you build a sense of purpose, set goals and celebrate achievements, as well as being fun.
