Move for your Mind

Life can feel overwhelming at times and sometimes we can feel it gets the better of ourselves.

This year's Mental Health Awareness Week, the theme is 'Movement' and how we can use the power of movement to help be that little bit kinder to our minds 🧠🌻

One of the best ways to escape for me and give my mind a break is to go for a walk.

If it's to watch a sunrise or sunset, take a walk by the lakes, or even spend the day in the sunflower fields at Rhossili. Many of my favourite memories are spent here.

It's also a perfect opportunity where you can have meaningful conversations with your loved ones about how you're feeling 🤗

As a team we'll be doing our bit by...

• Ditching that screen and incorporate movement into any meetings! Making our team catch ups a walking one – together in person, or popping in our headphones, turning the camera off and taking a walk while we talk.
• Organising a team lunchtime stroll!

We want to hear from you!...

We all want to take care of our minds, not just for one day but for life and we want to know, if there is a favourite place where you go to unwind and since making these changes how you feel it's helped you or a loved one.

I'm really fortunate to live very near the coast, and like to drive to either Bamburgh and walk along the beach near the castle, (but not in the main tourist season), or to St Mary's Lighthouse island not far from Whitley Bay, to sit and watch the sea. Both were favourite places of my mum and dad, and evoke happy memories for me.

That's so lovely @Tommysgirl !! It's forever in our plans to live near the cost 🌊 .

I'm incredibly lucky to spend so much time in Cornwall, my partner used to live in Falmouth so we visit every few weeks. The time that I spend there is so refreshing and I certainly come away with a clearer mind (especially after I've had a stressful day at work, it's amazing to just decompress) I'll dig out some photos to share with you 😊📸

I know Falmouth very well, we spent a few holidays there, I like Cornwall very much. We have some lovely places all over the UK, if we could just guarantee good weather to get out and enjoy them. 😃

@Tommysgirl @Han_EONNext that's so lovely to hear! Can't wait to see some photos 📸

My grandparents live near the coast and I often spend time there when I can. I can understand why it's so popular.
It's beautiful and can be therapeutic 💛

Here's two photos, one of Bamburgh Castle, and one of St Marys Lighthouse. I didn't take them, but I have very similar ones that I did take.📷😃
