What matters most to you in life? Living with purpose has a strong positive impact on your wellbeing and sense of satisfaction. It makes getting up every day easier. As much as possible spend your time doing things you are passionate about.

Recognise your strengths and learn to be nice to yourself. Having a good opinion of yourself impacts the way you see the world and how you respond to challenges. It might sound a little silly but start by looking in the mirror and saying something nice to yourself.

Your thoughts are powerful. They directly influence how you experience the world. People who think optimistically about their life and the situations they encounter, tend to feel more content. Start by noticing your thoughts and deciding how useful they are to you.

Create a safe space for your child to share their feelings. Listen actively and validate their emotions to help them feel understood and supported.

Physical activity is a natural stress reliever. Encourage your child to take regular exercise, whether it’s a sport they enjoy, a walk in the park, or even dancing to their favourite music. Both movement and time spent outdoors in nature can help boost mood and reduce anxiety.

Children and young people often learn by example, so show your child how to handle stress by remaining calm and resilient yourself. Demonstrate healthy, mindful ways to manage challenging moments, reinforcing that it’s okay to seek help or to talk about your feelings when things get tough.
