Making healthy choices takes effort, but investing time in your wellbeing can have a positive impact. selectability supports the Ingham community to build confidence, make new friends and connect to their community.  

Julie Ross, regional coordinator for selectability Ingham said it was important to look after your wellbeing in all aspects, including mental, physical, social and emotional.  

“Overcoming challenges and building connection and purpose one step at a time can make a positive difference in people’s routine,” said Julie.

Here are some tips to improve wellbeing:  

Start small with exercise:  Adding a little movement to your day can make a big difference. Choose activities that make you feel good and fit naturally into your daily routine so you’re more likely to stick with them.

Make time for yourself: Make time to breathe, rest and recharge. Giving yourself time for a break is important, even if it’s treating yourself to a simple activity like going for a walk outside, trying a new hobby or watching a movie.  

Get connected: Engage in activities you enjoy and lose track of time with others around you. Feeling connected builds purpose, confidence, and positive wellbeing.  

Ask for help:  Reaching out can feel hard, but support is available. Whether it’s a friend, family member or GP, you don’t have to do it alone.

“At the Ingham Clubhouse, we support people to focus on their wellbeing through meaningful activities, social connection and building positive routines in a safe, supported environment,” said Julie.
