This is essential for us all. In a more sustainable world, we will all need to slow it down, have more time for the things we love and spend more time looking after ourselves and the earth. Balance in your work and home life is something to start now.

Think about ways that you can create a better work/life balance in your own situation.

If you have access to a natural space, make sure you take time to get out in it. Taking time in nature is essential to our mental health. Take a walk in the park, walk in a wood, find a pond and see the beauty in the moment.

Even better, find somewhere where you can take your shoes off and walk barefoot on the ground (this is called grounding). Don’t worry if it's wet or cold, just do it. You will feel calmer and more alive.

Being able to be ourselves and talk about our worries is important. If you are frightened about the climate, your future, your family, your health, find someone that you can be yourself with.

Look for ways to connect, connect, connect. In our new sustainable world, we need to connect more with each other and the planet.

Always try and get at least 10 minutes of a day to yourself. This might be time to think, time to listen to the birds, time to listen to music, to read, write a journal or run.

Whatever you choose, try, and do these things mindfully, and be fully immersed in what you are doing as this helps to quiet the mind.

Knowing what you want and setting boundaries to protect yourself is essential. Let people know your boundaries; what you will accept in relationships, business relationships, what you want for yourself. You are important.

Making healthy choices is crucial to looking after yourself and the planet. Try to restrict alcohol consumption to only one or two days a week and avoid binge drinking.

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Challenge yourself to increase your fruit and veg to five portions, and then ten, a day. This will help ensure that your body gets the nutrients it needs.

Ensure you take regular exercise, but this doesn’t have to mean sweating it out at an expensive gym! Get out walking. Fit it in with reducing the use of your car, to help also reduce emissions.

You will quickly find that most of the wellbeing actions also directly or indirectly reduce your impact on the environment.

Studies have shown that being part of a community, even if it’s just a local yoga or singing group, can help to reduce loneliness and stress. Having regular contact with a community has been proven to have a positive impact on our mental health.

There are usually lots of activities and things to get involved in around your local area, try searching the internet or asking around for ideas.
