Understanding wellbeing, letter by letter

Understanding wellbeing, letter by letter

Since the pandemic hit, more and more of us have experienced loneliness and anxiety – and looking after our mental health has never been so important.

Ruth Rice (pictured) unexpectedly found herself on a journey of recovery from a breakdown and began to look for ways to renew her own wellbeing. She shares these insights in her new book A-Z of Wellbeing (Authentic Media),in which she encourages readers to live out their own alphabet of peace. The book presents 26 words of wellness to help you discover new practices, connect with God and share wellbeing with others.

Based around the five ways of wellbeing, eachtopic connects the word to a biblical theme and helps you learn a new habit, get activesharing the habit with others, take notice of a personal story and give back with questions and further resources.

‘I hope readers will become fluent speakers, active doers and daily dwellers in wellbeing,’ said Ruth, now a director of Renew Wellbeing, a charity which runs simple café style spaces attached to a quiet room where inner habits of wellbeing are shared. ‘The language of wellbeing starts looking like kindness, love, acceptance and wholeness in our communities.’

By sharing the words that were helpful in her own journey,Ruth Rice encourages us to discover the language of wellbeing so that we can speak it, live it and share it with others.
