The building blocks

It takes a range of skills to build a house. From carpentry to plumbing, each trade plays a different role in getting the job done. Your mind works the same way.

There are six different areas (or building blocks) of mental wellbeing. Each building block helps you respond to the range of mental tasks you face every day, in a unique and powerful way. To keep your mind in top condition, you’ll need to use each building block regularly.
