Introduction

The Three PEAS

A foundation for everyday mental wellbeing

The Three Peas course is a simple, practical starting point for anyone who wants to feel steadier, calmer and more in control of their mental health.

Rather than offering quick fixes or complex techniques, this course focuses on three evidence-based areas that quietly but powerfully support emotional wellbeing: Positive Thought, Positive Action and Positive Interaction.

These are not abstract ideas. They are the everyday supports that help keep your nervous system regulated and your stress levels manageable. Small, repeatable changes in how you think, what you do, and who you spend time with can make a meaningful difference over time.

The Three Peas provides a clear foundation you can return to again and again, whether you are just beginning to explore self-help strategies or looking to strengthen what already helps.

Why the Three PEAS matter

Many people reach a point where they know something needs to change, but they do not want to feel overwhelmed or pressured into doing more.

The Three Peas offers a steadier approach. It works with your brain and nervous system, recognising that sustainable mental wellbeing is built through consistency rather than intensity.

By gently supporting how you think, act and connect, this course helps reduce stress, increase resilience and create a stronger sense of balance in everyday life.

What are the Three PEAS?

Positive Thought
Positive Action
Positive Interaction

Three areas that form a practical framework for maintaining good mental health in real life.

Why this approach works

The Three Peas are grounded in well-established neuroscience and psychological research. Repeated, supportive experiences help the brain learn new patterns, regulate stress responses and build emotional resilience.

This course is not about fixing yourself. It is about understanding what supports you and making small, realistic changes that your nervous system can integrate over time.

Who this course is for

This course is for you if:

• You want a solid foundation for ongoing mental wellbeing, rather than a quick fix

• You are feeling stressed, overwhelmed or depleted, and want practical ways to steady your nervous system

• You are curious about evidence-based self-help strategies that feel realistic and manageable

• You want to understand how your brain and nervous system work, and how everyday choices affect how you feel

• You are ready to take gentle, manageable steps towards greater balance and resilience

• You value approaches that are compassionate, flexible and adaptable to real life

• You are at the beginning of your self-care journey, or returning to the basics in a supportive way

Who this course is not for

This course may not be the right fit if:

• You are looking for rapid or intensive therapeutic intervention

• You want a highly prescriptive or clinical programme

• You are currently experiencing acute distress and need specialist or immediate mental health support

In these cases, the Three Peas can still be a helpful resource later, once you feel more supported.

What you’ll gain

Through this course, you will:

• Develop a clearer understanding of what supports your mental wellbeing

• Learn simple tools you can return to during busy or stressful periods

• Build confidence in making choices that support your nervous system

• Reduce stress and improve emotional regulation over time

• Create a practical framework you can use again and again

How the course works

The Three Peas is designed to be clear, accessible and flexible.

You will be guided through each of the three areas with:

• Short, easy-to-understand explanations

• Practical exercises and reflections

• Simple tools you can integrate into everyday life

There is no pressure to complete everything perfectly. This is a course you can move through at your own pace and return to whenever you need.

are you ready?

You may be ready for this course if you can say yes to most of the following:

• I am open to understanding myself a little better

• I am willing to try small, realistic changes

• I can approach this work with curiosity rather than self-judgement

• I want tools that support everyday life, not just difficult moments

• I understand that change happens gradually

There is no need to feel “ready enough”. Curiosity is enough.
