Five Ways to be Yeo Best Self

Looking to improve your wellbeing naturally? These five simple actions can help lift your mood, boost your health and inspire positive change, with a little help from the Yeo Valley community.
1. Connect with Others
Reconnecting with the people who matter most is one of the simplest ways to lift your spirits. Whether it’s a walk, a slow lunch, or a cosy games night, quality time with family and friends can help you feel supported and refreshed. And if distance gets in the way, a quick video call is a brilliant alternative.
But connection doesn’t stop with familiar faces. Meeting new people is a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow. From February onwards, we’re hosting a series of events in our Organic Garden for locals and anyone up for an adventure.
What’s on:
Snowdrops in the Garden – Explore the first blooms of the season; ideal for nature lovers and photographers (dates to follow)
Yeo Valley Organic Garden Festival 2026 - After a fantastic first year of inspiring gardening talks and workshops, tickets for 2026 are now on sale.
2. Be Physically Active
Regular movement boosts both your mood and your physical health. Even a brisk 30-minute walk can make a real difference. Wrap up warm, get outside and reconnect with nature for a refreshing change of scenery.
If you prefer something more structured or want to try something new, why not join the Yeo-Fit gym at HQ which offers a variety of classes, such as Zumba, circuits and spin!
3. Learn Something New
Learning keeps your mind stimulated, inspired and engaged, but it doesn’t always happen by accident.
If you want to broaden your horizons, you can exchange 20 Yeokens for 90 days of BookBeat, giving you up to 40 hours of listening. With over a million audiobooks and e-books (from new releases to timeless classics), it’s an easy way to learn while on the move.
If gardening is more your style, enjoy a free bag of Magic Mulch with your first RocketGro order. Pick up a few organic seeds and tools while you’re there, it’s always a good time to dream about your garden.
4. Give to Others
Acts of kindness don’t just help others - Research shows they also boost your own wellbeing.
Small gestures can make a big difference:
Help a neighbour
Donate loose change
Volunteer for a charity or community group
Surprise loved ones with a thoughtful gift
You can also use your Yeokens to support a charity of your choice through the donations page on our website.
5. Make Healthier Food Choices
As awareness grows about the impact of ultra-processed foods, small changes to your diet can make a big difference. Try swapping an afternoon biscuit for a banana, or build a yogurt bowl using natural, unprocessed ingredients like nuts, seeds and fresh fruit.
Yeo Valley Organic Natural Kefir is a delicious and wholesome base for a nutritious snack or meal.
(You can learn more about ultra-processed foods in our dedicated guide.)
Final Thought
As we step into a new year full of opportunities, take a moment to prioritise yourself, your physical health, your mental wellbeing and the small positive choices that help you grow.
