Welcome to the September issue of The Wellbeing Wrap.
Spring has arrived! Longer days, warmer weather and somehow, even more things to do!
September can be a busy month as our calendars fill up and we’re tempted to keep pushing through. So, this month we’re looking at some simple ways to support wellbeing without adding another thing to your to-do list.
From rethinking how we build wellbeing into everyday life, to understanding psychosocial risk and finding a 60-second moment to pause – there’s lots of good advice here for when life gets busy.
As always, we’ve kept things short and practical, with useful ideas you can take away and use.

This Month’s Quick Tip
Don’t Rush the Lift!
When we’re busy, we tend to rush. And that’s often when our movement gets sloppy.
Before you lift or move something large or heavy, take a second to stop, look and plan …
Where are you taking it?
Is the path clear?
Do you need help?
What’s the easiest way to move it?
A few seconds of planning can save a lot of unnecessary effort – and potential pain.
