At times when we have been working too hard, or are going through significant stress - both of which are front of mind in the current COVID-19 crisis - we need to think about our own wellbeing, and in particular how we can boost our resilience. A coach who has worked with the ACT, Gavin Aubrey, talks about the 5 boosters: learning, being in the present, connecting with family and friends, being active, and giving. In this podcast Caroline focuses on two of these: learning and giving. There is an astonishing 87% improvement in mental wellbeing when someone joins an education programme, according to The National Institute of Adult Education, and the positive effects are backed up by other research too.
With thanks to Gavin Aubrey.
