BE ACTIVE.......the final one of the five ways to wellbeing, as we come to the end of Mental Health Awareness Week. Although the model I have shared can help you support your mental health every day of the year.
Being active can be as simple as moving your body - you don't have to join a gym or a class or anything formal, it can be daily walks, cycling along the prom or even housework! Physical activity can be fun, good for your physical and mental health, social and just makes you feel good.
Especially if you can find something you enjoy, you will stick with it! I love being in the water so swimming is top of my list, as well as daily walks, and this year I decided to join a new run club for women .runs.this.city - I saw it advertised and went for it. It's for every pace and is inclusive through and through, one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I may not be the fastest or have the best technique but I love it!
