what is taking place in the present directly
enhances your well-being and savouring
‘the moment’ can help to reaffirm your life
priorities.
Take some time to enjoy the moment and
the environment around you. Here are a few
ideas:
 Get a plant for your workspace
 Have a ‘clear the clutter’ day
 Take notice of how your colleagues are
feeling or acting
 Take a different route on your journey to
or from work
 Visit a new place for lunch.

esteem and encourages social interaction and
a more active life.

opportunity to engage in work or educational
activities particularly helps to lift older people
out of depression.
