It's Mental Health Awareness Week - and this year, the theme is Movement. Physical activity is one of the most important things we can do for our mental health - and yet it is so easily overlooked when the working day gets busy. Movement helps boost mental health in the following ways: 😁 Improves mood through the release of endorphins 🔥 Increases energy levels 🙏 Reduces stress 😴 Improves sleep quality Recognising the incredible benefits of movement, Leonid holds quarterly 'health months' where we encourage everyone to increase their physical activities - and for every workout, we plant a tree via Tree-Nation. Of course, movement should not be restricted to once a quarter, but making this a friendly competition four times a year has helped us all to maintain ongoing good habits. The result is a happy, healthy and productive team! #mentalhealthawarenessweek #LifeatLeonid #healthmonths

Mental health is just as important as physical health. This Men's Mental Health Month, let's encourage the men in our lives to prioritize their mental well-being. Whether it's through talking to a friend, seeking professional help, or practicing self-care, every step counts. When it comes to maintaining balance, both physical and emotional self-care are crucial. During Men's Mental Health Month, it's important to acknowledge how interconnected these aspects are and take steps to nurture both. Physical Health: To calm your mind, remind yourself of the benefits of physical activity. Tell yourself, "Moving my body helps clear my mind." Engaging in regular exercise not only strengthens your body but also releases endorphins, reducing stress and boosting your mood. A brisk walk, a workout session, or even some gentle stretching can make a significant difference. Emotional Care: For emotional care, say to yourself, "It's okay to pause and breathe." Taking time to practice mindfulness, meditate, or simply focus on your breath can ground you in the present moment and alleviate anxiety. Also, remind yourself, "Seeking help is a sign of strength." Whether it's talking to a friend, reaching out to a mental health professional, or practicing self-care routines, these actions are essential for maintaining emotional balance and resilience. #MentalHealthMatters #MensMentalHealthMonth #SelfCare #Wellness #MensWellbeing #HealthyMind #SupportMen

🌟 Embracing Mental Health through Movement 🌟 As we delve into #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, let's shine a light on the incredible impact movement can have on our overall well-being. 💪 Did you know that even small bursts of physical activity throughout the day can work wonders for your mental health? Whether it's a brisk walk during your lunch break, a quick stretch between tasks, or a dance session to your favorite tunes, these moments of movement can make a world of difference. Physical activity not only releases endorphins, those feel-good hormones, but it also reduces stress, boosts self-esteem, and enhances cognitive function. 💡 Incorporating movement into our daily routines isn't just about staying fit; it's about nurturing our mental resilience and fostering a positive mindset. So, let's encourage each other to prioritise movement, no matter how busy our schedules may be. Whether it's a stroll in nature or a desk yoga session, let's embrace these opportunities to recharge our minds and bodies. Together, let's pave the way for a healthier, happier workforce. 🌈 #MindfulMovement #WellnessWednesday #SelfCare How do you incorporate movement into your daily routine?

Emotional hygiene refers to the practice of maintaining and caring for one's emotional well-being. It involves activities and habits that promote emotional health, such as managing stress, expressing emotions constructively, setting boundaries, and fostering positive relationships. Just as personal hygiene is essential for physical health, emotional hygiene is crucial for mental well-being. Maintaining mental well-being typically involves a combination of daily habits rather than a fixed time requirement. Engaging in activities like regular exercise, sufficient sleep, mindfulness practices, social connections, and pursuing hobbies can contribute to positive mental well-being. While the specific time commitment can vary for each person, consistently incorporating these habits into your routine can significantly support your mental health. Prune off unhealthy twigs in your lifestyle. The way we take care of our body and mind our emotions also deserves nothing less.💛💙 #emotionalintelligence #emotionalhealth #socialchange #influencingothers

Feeling low? You're not alone. We all face mental health challenges from time to time. If it's been going on for a few weeks, impacting relationships and work, and making life less enjoyable, it may be time to make some changes and seek out support. ✔️Get back to basics and prioritise self-care with healthy sleep, food, and exercise habits. Your physical well-being can profoundly impact your mental health. ✔️Keep doing what you love, spend time with loved ones, and nurture your social connections. Your support system is invaluable. ✔️Embrace wellbeing apps for mindfulness, meditation, sleep and more. For optimum sleep, switch off technology 90 minutes before going to bed.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week! This year's theme of "Moving More for our Mental Health" highlights the crucial link between physical activity and mental wellbeing. Exercise isn't just about physical health; it's a powerful tool for nurturing your mind too. We know it can be difficult to find the motivation to get outside and exercise, but it's the little things that can sometimes make the biggest difference. So, think about some small steps you can take to move a little more and see where it takes you. Moving more can boost mood, reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and increase overall mental clarity. It's a natural way to combat anxiety and depression while promoting a sense of balance and resilience. So, take those walks, try that yoga class, or dance like nobody's watching – your mind will thank you! Remember, small steps lead to significant benefits. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MoveForYourMind #ExerciseForWellbeing #MomentsForMovement

Mental health is a cumulative effort built through thousands of small habits working together over time. If you take medication to help with your wellness, be sure to stay on top of it. Also, exercise and restful sleep combined with a good diet can go a long way. and last but not least, regular journaling can help with your mindfulness and self-awareness. There is no right answer to mental health, just the habits that work the best for you! #MindBodySoulJournal #PathToWellness #SelfCareQuartet #JournalYourJourney #TheBrightMentality #MentalHealthJournal
