Keep Learning: Week 5 of the ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’
09/10/2020Learning new things can be fun, can boost our self-confidence and self-esteem, improve our knowledge, help us cope with stress and enjoy life. Learning can be about challenging ourselves to do something in a different way – and you can learn in any environment, not just at school. There are many ways you can learn something new, such as:
- Reading a new book,
- Listening to a podcast
- Learning to play a musical instrument
- Learning some words in another language
- Learning how to cook something new.
- Taking a trip to a wildlife park and learn about the animals.
- Volunteering for an organisation or cause where you can learn new skills.
