What does wellbeing mean to you in your daily life?
Wellbeing is created by the small and big things in everyday life, everything that brings you joy, meaning and balance. Sometimes, finding a sense of wellbeing can be surprisingly simple, such as taking regular walks in a nearby forest. We in Eastern Uusimaa want to help you discover activities and ways of living that suit you and support your personal wellbeing.

Wellbeing means different things to different people. It can be difficult to grasp or put into words, especially when everyday life feels heavy.
The how are you? – card helps you to pause for a moment and reflect on the topic. Take your time to think about how you’re feeling right now. You don’t have to perform or give a right answer.
The questions on the card will help you reflect on:
- what is supporting your well-being right now?
- in which areas of your life do you need support or would you like to see a change?
- what matters most to you in the life situation you are in?
The card encourages a listening and caring approach. It reminds you that you are the expert on your own life.
It is good to remember:
- wellbeing is not a performance
- a small step in everyday life is enough
- go forward at your own pace and with your own goals in mind i
The card encourages a listening and caring approach. It reminds you that you are the expert on your own life.
