Activities for a stronger mental wellbeing

Bring the beauty of the natural world indoors, by adding a plant to your office or around your home. 

Head outside at night and spend time gazing at the stars. Search for constellations and shooting stars.

Go outside and spend time taking photos. You don't need a special camera to capture beautiful colours, textures and reflections.

Growing your own produce is a great way to help increase your daily fruit and vegetable intake.  Not only will it help you eat seasonally and save money, but gardening helps you stay physically active. Visit the Healthier. Happier. website to find out how to get your garden started.

Spend some time in the sun and observe how it feels on your skin (remembering to observe sun safety rules as well).

Set your alarm and wake up with the sun. It's a great way to appreciate the beauty of mother nature as your day begins. 

There are a lot of free online classes and workouts you can do from the comfort of your house. To add intensity or build strength try using items around the home as weights.

Make time to get outside, breathe in fresh air and notice of the world around you. If you can't get outside, look for a sunny spot in the house or open your windows and doors to let the fresh air in.

Go for a picnic, or set up an outdoor dining space at home. Not sure where to go? Search for a picnic spot in a national park or forest near you.

Feel more connected to the earth by reducing the amount of single-use plastic you use. Try alternatives like beeswax wraps or paper straws.

Camp outside for a night in your backyard. Enjoy the stars, and experience your garden in a new way. 

Exercising in natural environments can have positive effects on your self-esteem and improve your mood. Just remember to slip, slop, slap, seek and slide!
