My Wellbeing Plan

This plan helps you think about what matters most to you and identify small steps that could support your health, wellbeing and independence.

You are in control of this conversation.
Your voice and choices matter.

How this plan is used

This plan supports conversations by creating space for:

  • Open, supportive discussion
  • Listening without making judgement
  • Respecting your choices and priorities
  • Encouraging small, realistic steps

About this plan

This plan is based on the Five Ways to Wellbeing, with additional areas included to reflect local needs and the wider things that can affect your health and wellbeing.

You do not have to complete everything. Focus on what feels most important to you.

Choose an area to explore

Be Active
Being active can support both your physical and mental wellbeing.
Everyday movement counts. It does not have to mean going to the gym.
Are you happy with this?

For example, walking, swimming, gentle exercise or group sessions.

Connect
Feeling connected to others can support your wellbeing. This includes family, friends, neighbours and social groups.
Are you happy with this?
Take Notice
Noticing what is happening in the present moment can improve wellbeing. This might mean being aware of your thoughts, feelings or what is happening around you.
Are you happy with this?
Learn Something New
Learning new skills or trying new things can boost confidence and motivation.
Are you happy with the opportunities you have?

For example, IT skills, cookery or creative activities.

The eatwell plate

Use the eatwell plate to help you get the balance right. It shows how much of what you eat should come from each food group.

A Dinner Plate Showing the five major food groups, inside the plate we see five sections with each section showing illustrations of food items such as Milk, Bread and Veg
  • Fruit and vegetables: just under a third of the plate
  • Rice, potatoes, pasta, bread and other starchy foods: just under a third of the plate
  • Milk and dairy foods: about one in seven parts of the plate
  • Meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein: about one in seven parts of the plate
  • Foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar: the smallest part of the plate, about one in nine
