This week is mental health awareness week, and the theme is Movement: Moving more for our mental health.
Research has shown that regular physical activity can make us happier and healthier. Our bodies release feel-good hormones when we’re active, which can reduce anxiety and stress and help us sleep better. By building movement into our working day, we can have a positive impact on productivity and focus.
MHFA have come up with the idea of “empower half hour”– 30 minutes of activity to boost your wellbeing. Some ideas are attached.
Remember to also visit the “wellness” area in Perkbox for more free resources… meditation, yoga, Pilates, workouts, sleep stories and more!
