✨ 10 Simple Wellbeing Boosters ✨

1️⃣ Micro-rests matter — Take 30 seconds to deep breathe, stretch, reboot your brain. Tiny pauses add up.
2️⃣ Name one good thing — Each day, look for a single positive moment. Training your brain to notice the good builds resilience.
3️⃣ Move gently — A short walk, light stretch, walk the stairs or dance in your kitchen. Movement shifts mood.
4️⃣ Connect intentionally — Send one caring message to someone today. Even short moments of connection protect our mental health.
5️⃣ Do one “easy win” — Make the bed, fill your water bottle, or reply to one email. Small wins create momentum.
6️⃣ Say no (kindly) — Protecting your energy is an act of courage, and sets healthy boundaries.
7️⃣ Get sunlight early — Morning light boosts mood, focus, and sleep quality.
8️⃣ Create a comfort ritual — A cup of tea, favourite music, cosy socks, light a candle or diffuse essential oils. Rituals cue safety.
9️⃣ Touch nature — Step outside for fresh air, notice the breeze, look at the trees, shoes off, feel the ground, listen to birds. Nature calms the nervous system.
🔟 Celebrate tiny progress — You don’t need big breakthroughs. Notice the small steps; they add up and they’re how real change happens.

🌿 Why nature play matters for your child’s wellbeing

Playing in nature isn’t just fun, it helps children build confidence, resilience and social-emotional skills.

The Australian Institute of Family Studies on nature play for children aged 0–5, explores why outdoor play supports learning and wellbeing better than indoor time, and how different approaches can suit your child’s needs.

🌿 Why it matters:
Nature play helps children grow confident, creative, and resilient. Even small moments outdoors can make a big difference.

🌿 5 things to know:
- Start early – Ages 0–5 are the best time to build a love for nature.
- Supports wellbeing – Nature play helps with emotions, problem-solving, and social skills.
- Every bit counts – No set time needed. Short, regular play outdoors is great.
- It’s flexible – Nature play can happen anywhere: backyard, balcony, local park.
- Balance screen time – Kids spend more time indoors today. Nature play helps restore balance.
