Staying active is not only great for your physical wellbeing but also your mental health.

Invest time, energy, respect, and love into your relationships.

Accept praise from others as it will help you to move forward, in day-to-day life.

Taking part in activities is a great way of staying independent, whether that is art or something else that you enjoy it can enable you to think in a different way.

Watching light television that is not challenging, can give you a moment of escapism and can be relaxing. There are also schemes where people will go for a walk with you, and you can chat on the way.

I try to keep my sense of identity by teaching as that was at the core of who I was when I was working and who I have always been to some extent, since I was a child.

You can learn new hobbies or new activities, there might be areas that you might struggle with, but ask for help.

You can find joy through celebrating your achievements and your friends’ achievements.
