What is wellbeing?
Wellbeing is about how we feel, think and behave. Nobody feels blissfully happy and thinks positive thoughts all the time. However, if you are in a pretty good state of mind, it is generally much easier to enjoy life and cope with its challenges.

The Five Ways to Wellbeing app offers a practical way to help you feel good about yourself and function well in the world. As you use the app, build up a picture of what makes up your wellbeing.



Who’s behind the app?
The app was developed by Somerset County Council’s Public Health team in partnership with the new economics foundation.
