How do you protect yourself?

pietro_21

In a world that is becoming ever more vicious, other than avoidance how do you defend yourself (your welbeing) in no violent ways?

  • Did something happen to you? You don’t have to say what it is but I hope you are ok.

    Psychologists have identified five ways to protect wellbeing. 

    • Connect with others
    • Be active
    • Try something new 
    • Give to others (volunteering/helping someone or something)
    • Savour the moment (mindfulness)

    I realise looking at this that I don’t often try something new. I don’t know how often people need to try a new thing to make this helpful for wellbeing. At what point does a new thing become an old thing?
