5 Top Wellbeing Tips for 2021
The past 12 months have been like no other and after all we’ve been through, there is a real need to prioritise our wellbeing and mental health in 2021. The world is crying out for you at your best. So we’ve consulted Dr Andy Cope – the UK’s one and only Dr of Happiness – and here’s his prescription for a BRILLIANT 2021:
1. Keep the best bits
2020 was a tough year for most people. But we often learn most in the tough times. So what three lessons can you take from 2020 that will help you rise stronger in 2021?
2. Sleep on it
We’re cramming so much into life that something has to give and, often, that ‘something’ is sleep. A University of Warwick study found that improving your sleep quality leads to levels of mental and physical health comparable to those of somebody who’s won a jackpot of around £200,000. If getting more sleep is equivalent to a lottery win we suggest you treat yourself and your family to a guaranteed winning ticket.
3. Stop, look and listen
As we hurtle through life it’s sometimes pertinent to use the rules of the green cross code and stop, look & listen. Mindfulness is simply being aware of being aware. Slow down a teensie bit and notice the ‘beautiful ordinary’ – the sunrise, raindrops, dewy cobwebs, misty mornings, smiling children, stars…. happiness is available, on tap, once you learn that’s it’s right here, right now.
4. Less anti-social media
No explanation required, other than to remind you to be a lover, not a hater. Also, in terms of happiness, one true flesh & blood friend will bring you more happiness than 1000 Facebook ones. Cut your social media by 50% and spend time with real family and friends instead.
5. ‘Experience’ 2021
The general rule is that happiness comes from doing stuff rather than accumulating stuff. You’ll realise that the top 10 happiest moments of your life are ‘experiences’ rather than ‘products’. When un-lockdown finally arrives, set your stall out to have more experiences.
We cannot wait to re-open our doors and welcome you back into enjoy our hotel experience.
