All About Archie

Five Ways to Wellbeing

 

Archie knows that following these ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ helps him to feel good, and to feel better when he’s worried about anything.

 

​

1. Connect:  

Archie connects with his doggy and human friends.  Sometimes

connecting means woofing and playing, and sometimes it just

means sitting beside someone.

​

​

​

 

2.  Keep Learning:  

Archie keeps learning new skills like sitting nicely and giving

a paw.

 

​

​

3.  Be Active:  

Archie thinks being active is lots of fun.  He likes to chase his pals and

run around with his ball.  Sometimes Archie thinks he would rather

just sit around, but when he gets active he finds he loves it!

 

​

​

4.  Give: 

Archie gives us friendship and makes us smile. He gives us laughter

too when he does funny things!  Sometimes he gives us a shoe or a

sock!

 

​

​

5.  Notice: 

Now and then Archie takes a quiet moment to notice how he’s feeling.

Sometimes he likes to notice the sounds of nature like the wind blowing

or plants swishing.  On the beach he likes to listen to the waves.
