Favourable conditions for being well: Believing in Rainbows

• News & Highlights

Have you ever stopped to think about the role weather plays on your well-being?

Your mood, your motivation, your mind-set or general demeanour?

Think about it…

If it’s sunny - I would bet you are in a better frame of mind, feeling positive, upbeat and good. You want to be out and about, smell the flowers. Let’s be honest we all feel more “alive” when it's sunny. It gives us energy.

 If it’s cold you are more likely to feel a bit bleak, sad, calm or relaxed. Things go slower and are more sombre.

 If it’s raining the chances of staying in bed longer in the morning, are well… highly likely!

 

So what does well-being mean anyway?

Well, the google definition is “the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy.”

In simple terms, “well-being can be described as judging life positively and feeling good. For public health purposes, physical well-being (feeling very healthy and full of energy) is also viewed as critical to overall well-being.”
