360 degree approach to mental wellbeing

--

It's astonishing how many of our daily lifestyle choices can have an impact on our mental wellbeing and resilience.

This introductory webinar will take you through how there are so many different factors that can negatively affect mental health, from how much you sleep to how much you move, from what you eat to how and who you spend your leisure time with.

Find out how to take a more holistic approach to staying mentally healthy and how even a few small but sustainable changes in some areas of your life can help improve your wellbeing.

We'll be discussing:

• How what you eat can affect your mood and mental health
• Sleep and how to get better at it!
• Downtime/ leisure time and how to use it to boost your mental health
• The natural world as a natural endorphin buzz
• People and community - how friendships and connections provide an important anchor in our lives

Avoiding burnout

--

Modern life is getting busier, with multiple demands on our time and more and more balls to juggle as we lurch from career to studies to family and a plethora of other commitments. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a recent survey found that 79% of British adults feel stressed at least once a month, one in five workers feel stressed more days than they don't - and almost half are close to burning out altogether.

This one-hour webinar will help you to understand what overwhelm and burnout are and the similarities and differences between them. Learn what the signs and triggers are, and what self-care and management tips you can use now and in future to help prevent burning out.

What we'll cover:

• What is overwhelm?
• What are the signs / how does it feel?
• Why does it happen?
• What's the difference between overwhelm and burnout?
• How can I prevent myself moving from overwhelm to burnout?
• How can I support myself and get support, now and in the future?

Balancing time online

--

Modern digital technology can be a wonderful thing, but is 24/7 connectivity having a negative impact on your mental and physical wellbeing? 

There's no doubt that there are some apps and devices that can be really beneficial and time-saving and there are plenty of times when being able to answer that email on the go is an absolute life-saver!  

But the flip side is that it's perfectly possible to lose hours glued to multiple screens and devices or find it hard to 'switch off' from work mode - to the point you almost feel anxious if separated from your phone. 

This 45-minute webinar will help you reflect on your time online and whether it has an impact on your time management, mood, or connection with the 'real' world. 

We'll also discuss ways to have a better relationship with the digital world so you get most benefit from it, and share tips for healthy tech use to help you maintain a positive balance.
