As a health or social care professional, your emotional wellbeing is as important as the wellbeing of the people you care for.

Emotional wellbeing is the ability to look after your emotional needs. It is also the ability to understand and appreciate the value of your emotions and use them to move your life forward in a positive direction.

Emotional wellbeing can also be described as a positive sense of wellbeing, which enables us to function in society and meet the demands of everyday life. Part of emotional wellbeing is resilience, which impacts how you face challenges and how you think about the challenges you face

We can get caught up in our thoughts without stopping to notice how those thoughts are driving our emotions and behaviour. Mindfulness helps you to be more aware of your thoughts and feelings.

Mindfulness involves paying attention to what is going on inside and outside yourself, moment by moment. Paying attention to the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the present moment.
