As we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week with the theme "Movement: Moving more for mental health," let's reflect on key considerations before embracing physical activity: 🫀 Personal Preference: Listen to what your body enjoys and is capable of doing and choose activities that align with your interests. 🏠 Environment: Find a setting where you feel comfortable and at ease. Whether it's at home, in a gym, outdoors, or within your community, prioritise accessibility and enjoyment. 👥 Social Connection: Decide whether you prefer exercising alone or with others, and whether virtual or in-person connections suit you best. Tailor your approach to suit your social comfort level. ⭐ Realistic Goals: Start gradually and set achievable goals to avoid burnout. Adapt activities to your pace and needs as you progress. 😌 Holistic Wellbeing: Explore additional ways to support your mental health beyond physical activity. Incorporate practices that uplift your mood and overall wellbeing. Remember, finding the right activity is a journey. Listen to your body, honour your preferences, and prioritise your holistic wellbeing.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week, and this year's theme is "Movement: Moving More for our Mental Health". Our team has been discussing the importance of movement in our daily lives to enhance our mental wellbeing. Whether you're working from home or in the office, sitting for most of the day can take a toll on your mental health. Taking a short break during your lunch break to move, even if it's just a walk in the park or a chair exercise, can make a significant difference. As someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression for the majority of their life, getting out of the house can oftentimes be a battle for me. About 18 months a go I discovered my love for Reformer Pilates and it has changed everything (I've even taken my puppy to a class, pic below 😊 ). Finding movement in my routine has made a huge difference; rather than avoiding social situations, I focus now on what I'm capable of and not how I am perceived. I'm grateful too that I work for a business that prioritises wellbeing because today, like every Monday, I'm catching an 11.30am class to set me up for my week. Our team is also planning a "walking meeting" this week to stay productive whilst on the move. What movement do you have planned for today?

Today's #SamariTip for mental wellness: make it a point to set appropriate boundaries. Doing this effectively is increasingly challenging. Constant connectivity, social media pressure, and the fear of missing out make it difficult to disconnect and prioritize personal time. People-pleasing tendencies and blurred work-life boundaries also contribute to the difficulty of setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. But setting good boundaries reduces stress, anxiety, and the sense of being overwhelmed by helping you manage your time and commitments. Boundaries also boost self-esteem by fostering self-respect and confidence. They improve relationships by enhancing communication and enabling more authentic connections. Finally, setting boundaries increases self-awareness, prevents burnout, and promotes self-care. If you need help with this, please don't hesitate to consult a therapist or other mental wellness professional. #samaritancentermv #boundaries #MentalHealth #SelfCare #SelfLove #SelfRespect #StressManagement

🌟 Embracing Positivity 🌟 We’re heading into the weekend feeling positive and energised after hearing from wellbeing expert and best-selling author, Dr. Andy Cope - AKA Dr Happy - at the CSG ‘Wellinar’ on World Mental Health Day. Andy challenged us to show up in life as our best selves - resilient, creative, optimistic and energetic. Here's what we took away from the talk: 1. Choose an Attitude that Works for You: Make a deliberate, consistent choice to be positive every day by focusing on what you have to be grateful for. 2. Show Up as the Best Version of Yourself: During the first four minutes of every interaction, be present, attentive, positive, and grateful. Ask yourself: How would the best version of myself walk through that door? 3. Be a Catalyst for Positivity: Andy introduced us to the 10:5 principle: “If you’re within 10 feet of someone, make eye contact and smile, and if you’re within five feet, say hi.” A simple way to raise the happiness levels of those around us. A big thank you to Commercial Services Group and Dr Andy Cope for an inspiring session! ✨ #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #PositiveMindset #Gratitude #Happiness #WorldMentalHealthDay #CSGWellinar

The month of May was all about Mental Health Awareness, a crucial time to prioritize well-being and cultivate healthy habits that positively impact us year-round. Whether working remotely or in the office, the pace of daily lives can be overwhelming. Sometimes, taking just 20 minutes to pause during the day can drastically shift perspective and bring balance. Introducing you to my Head of Business Distraction and friendly companion - Winnie. Each day, she walks into my office, drops her ball at my feet, and then heads out to the garden, signaling tennis ball time! It's a moment to step away from the desk and engage in an activity that brings joy to both our lives. And who can say no to that face! Your health is a priority every day, not just during Mental Health Awareness Month. We can create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that supports your mental well-being year-round. Let's continue to support each other and foster a culture of openness and care in our workplaces. Remember, investing in your mental health is an investment in your overall happiness and productivity. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #WellBeing #HealthyHabits #Gratitude #Perspective #Balance
