The image below shows the links between these three models identified by students taking the ‘Spirituality and Recovery’ course at Durham Recovery College. The Spirituality Flower can be linked with both the CHIME factors and the Five Ways to Wellbeing.
Five Ways to Wellbeing
Foresight’s Mental Capital and Wellbeing project explored ways to enhance everyone’s mental capital and wellbeing throughout their lives. Evidence suggests that even small improvements in wellbeing can help reduce some mental health problems and enable people to flourish.
The course, developed by the New Economics Foundation on behalf of Foresight, outlines five actions to improve personal wellbeing.
Connect: Spirituality can enhance our connections with others and the world around us. Be Active: Spiritual practices can serve as a way to become more socially engaged.
Take Notice: Spirituality can help us become more self-aware and present in our lives.
Keep Learning: Exploring spirituality allows us to learn more about ourselves and others.
Give: Many people find that their spirituality or religion provides a means to share with and give to others.
