Now in its fourth year, World Wellbeing Week is upon us and aims to provide the opportunity for participants worldwide to celebrate the many aspects of wellbeing, from meaningful, purposeful work to financial security, physical, mental and emotional health, social resilience and empathic care for the environment. Wellbeing has never been so important to our lives and livelihoods as it is at the present time. Coming out of a serious pandemic, has taken its toll on many of us in many different ways.
The pandemic has revealed a capacity for change, never before thought possible, with people adapting mentally and physically all over the world. It has brought with it different ways of thinking and a new-found resilience and strength. The word on everyone’s lips has been: ‘wellbeing’.
Wellbeing encapsulates not only own physical being, but our mental wellbeing, our whole being.
This blog aims to raise awareness of not only the drivers for this year’s wellbeing week, being community and universal togetherness, but it also aims to provide you, our PCS community with the tools, knowledge and skills to better help with your overall wellbeing.
2022 is a time to rejoice. A time to travel once again, to reconnect with friends and family, and to bring work colleagues closer together united in their aims and aspirations for the future.
Being mentally healthy doesn’t just mean that you don’t have a mental health problem. If you have good mental health, you can: Make the most of your potential, Cope with life, Play a full part in your family, workplace, community, and among friends Some people call mental health ‘emotional health’ or ‘wellbeing’. Mental health is everyone’s business.
We all have times when we feel down, stressed or frightened. Most of the time those feelings pass, but sometimes they develop into a more serious problem, and this could happen to any one of us. Everyone is different. You may bounce back from a setback, while someone else may feel weighed down by it for a long time. Your mental health doesn’t always stay the same. It can change as circumstances change and as you move through different stages in your life. Unfortunately, stigma can be attached to mental health problems. This means that people feel uncomfortable about them and don’t talk about them much. Many people don’t even feel comfortable talking about their feelings. But it’s healthy to know and say how you’re feeling.
