Social Wellbeing

 

What is social wellbeing? 

Social wellbeing is having the ability to connect in society and feeling valued as a member and feel connected to a wider society. This can be in our local community, society as a whole and the environment where we live.  When we have a connection, our social wellbeing can allow us to bond with others.

 

How can you achieve a social wellbeing? You can take part in a community improvement, you can volunteer for a local sports club, help to keep your local community tidy, support local charities.

When you offer your time in the local community it will allow you to improve your social wellbeing.

 

Over the last 16 years I have done various voluntary posts coaching young athletes in athletics and recently became a mentor for 1 million mentors where I offer support to a mentee on the start of their journey in life.  Some time I have been asked “why do you give your time for nothing?” my reply always is “What I get when I see what a young person achieves when they learn to believe in themselves is worth more than any money can offer”.

 

That is when you know you are achieving social wellbeing.

Happy New Year

  Happy New Year, I wish you an amazing year for 2022, full of a great health, well-being and adventures. I know that is my plan for this year. My name is Jo Brown, I am a woman who is over 50, a mum to 2 sons and a well-being coach. I love the outdoors and the benefits that nature brings to you. I walk my dog Nala every morning, love hiking and I am currently training for the Pennine Way, canoeing, kayaking, camping in a tent or in my van and generally just living my life to the full.   My goal for the new year is to start a regular blog and share information that will support women over the age of 35  who are lost, overwhelmed and unfulfilled to achieve finding their best self, so they know what their values are so they can learn to trust themselves without feeling they have to live their life to other people’s values. The topics will include  various ways of improving your well-being.   The subjects the blog will cover are the following: Being Self ...

A weekend of adventure and fun

  A weekend of adventure and fun. The last 2 weekends have been full of adventure, fun and challenge. Meeting lots of new people who have met over the last 2 years on Facebook in a group that offers the spirit of adventure. This weekend it definitely did. A few members from the group set off to Keswick to join the Festival of Light that was being held on Saturday night.  I arrived on the Friday night at the YHA in Keswick (definitely worth a stay), started with a chill before the rest of the group came back from having a meal and spent time getting to know each other. When they came back to the YHA, we had lots of chat and laughs, continuing to get to know each other.  Saturday plans We eventually went to sleep, I woke at 5.30am and got ready for a day of walking, we had an offer of paddleboarding or a walk around Derwent Water a 10 mile walk. With my challenge in August of walking the Pennine Way, I decided the walk was for me. In the evening the plan was to walk to and ...

6 Human Needs

Image
The six human needs Tony Robbins identified the six human needs that we require to ensure we are motivated to fulfil and are the basis that we make choices are the following:   The first four needs are the needs of the personality also known as the EGO and they are needs that a human must have met on a daily basis. Certainty – A need for safety, stability, comfort, order, predictability, control and consistency Uncertainty/variety – the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change and novelty These 2 are like a see saw and work with each other, if you get too much certainty, you will get bored and if you get to much uncertainty, you will crave a bit more certainty of predictability Significance – the need to have a meaning, to be special, unique, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance, worthy of love and respect Love/connection – the need for communication, unified, approval, attachment, intimacy, to be loved by other ...
