This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme for this year is ‘Movement – Moving more for our mental health.’
Movement is important for our mental health but when life is busy many of us struggle to find the time and move enough. Exercise can help reduce anxiety and depression while also preventing physical illnesses.
This year Mental Health Awareness Week want to encourage people to find opportunities to move in their daily routines. This could be going for a walk, dancing around your kitchen while the kettle boils, chair exercises while watching your favourite TV show and much more, as it all counts!
For more ideas to help get you moving, please visit: Movement and mental health – Mental Health UK (mentalhealth-uk.org)
