Wellbeing

Wellbeing is a new area of development for MDCT, and we are working to develop a range of initiatives that will enable and support the health and wellbeing of our communities. For clarity, a simple definition of ‘wellbeing’ is ‘feeling good’ and when we feel good it is beneficial to our physical and mental health.

When we feel good it has many indirect benefits including:

An increased sense of happiness.
Improved mental wellbeing.
Faster recovery times from illness.
Improved sleep resulting in having more energy and feeling able to do more as a result.

There are lots of things that can help make us feel good and these include:

Being in the natural environment i.e. walking, cycling, running
Being part of community through activities and clubs i.e. WRI, youth Clubs, walking groups, golf club, exercise groups, lifelong learning etc.
Volunteering your time doing something you are interested in.
Being creative.
Laughing!
