In this post, I take the basis of that campaign (wellbeing tactics) and discuss them as potentially beneficial principles by which to live one&#8217;s life. Looking for some simple shifts to how live your life? This might be for you. <em>Reading time ~ 7 minutes.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We each lead different lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have different responsibilities and backgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have different strengths and weaknesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have different needs and desires.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So the idea of laying out a single pathway to a \u2018good life\u2019 is difficult to reconcile with those differences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does that mean we can\u2019t give generic advice to people about the ingredients of a good life?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the <a href=\"https:\/\/students.flinders.edu.au\/uni-life\/goodvibes\">Good Vibes Experiment<\/a>, we tackled this problem.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We recognised that there are many different science-backed activities that appear to improve the mental health and wellbeing of those that do them.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We organised those activities into 20 categories which we called \u2018Wellbeing Tactics\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We then built an <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/fusa-association\/docs\/flinders-gve-mental-health-activity-book_v12.5-dig\">Activity Book<\/a> that introduced people to those wellbeing tactics. We encouraged readers to try a few, to \u2018experiment\u2019, to see what resonated and consider building those tactics into their everyday life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, 20 was a lot, but it allowed for people in all different situations to find things that helped them. It allowed individuals to have their own unique combination of tactics, whilst also showing that we do share some of these with others. It allowed us to simultaneously celebrate individuality and diversity but also recognise a core set of therapeutic practices that we share.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 20 tactics in GVE can also be conceptualised as <\/span><b>principles <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; broad guidelines for how we live our lives. I thought I\u2019d take a crack at re-writing each tactic as a principle. As you read them, observe which principles resonate with you and that you could imagine living your life according to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">See if you can pick a top 5. Then ask yourself, am I living my life according to these principles?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are, excellent \ud83e\udd73<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you aren\u2019t, don\u2019t fret. Just start thinking about simple ways that you might better live according to that principle. For example, say the \u2018having fun\u2019 principle resonates with you, but when you think about it, there isn\u2019t much \u2018fun\u2019 about your life at the moment. See if you can find just 1 fun thing to do each week as a starting point.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4082\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/04\/gve-tactics.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/04\/gve-tactics.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/04\/gve-tactics-300x50.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/04\/gve-tactics-768x128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2022\/04\/gve-tactics-1024x171.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>20\u00a0 GVE Wellbeing Tactics expressed as principles by which to live your life<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Face your fears<\/em> &#8211;

Be a little kinder, spend some extra time outdoors, listen to a song that gives you goosebumps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And then tomorrow you could try another few.
