Being active is one of the best things that we can do for our mental health and wellbeing! As we kick off the new year, why not prioritize our mental wellness through physical activity? The NHS recommends that we do at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week, or around 20 to 30 minutes per day. January marks the perfect time to commit to a healthier you! Kick off the year with a promise to follow this guideline and infuse your days with wellness.  #ActiveJersey

⭐ Embracing Stress Awareness Month ⭐ April marks Stress Awareness Month, a crucial time for us to reflect on our well-being and prioritise self-care. At Blue Box IT, we're proud to join the movement and raise awareness about the importance of mental health in the workplace. We’re contributing to the theme of #SAM2024. ‘Little by Little. A Little Becomes a Lot.’  The idea that small consistent actions each day contributes to your overall wellbeing.  We are introducing Wellness Wednesday Tips and encouraging our team to access the Perkbox Wellness Hub, which includes activities from Yoga, Pilates, HIIT Workouts, Mind Reset, most of which take between 2-15 minutes to complete! We all know that in today’s fast paced world, stress can often become a silent companion affecting our productivity and happiness. We’d love to hear what suggestions you’re making to help your workforce 😊 #SAM2024 #stressawarenessmonth #alittlebecomesalot #blueboxIT #workforcewellbeing #perkbox

Movement is key for not just our physical health but also for promoting positive mental health too. Different forms of movement and exercise help improve mood when your brain releases 'feel good' chemicals like endorphins and serotonin; it also improves fitness levels, which can help lift your mood. Even short bursts of just 10 minutes' brisk walking can boost our mood, energy levels, and help to challenge negative and intrusive thoughts. Hence our commitment to get moving as a team, supporting and motivating each other along the way, with our different movement mileage to reach our end goal. 🎯 In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Week - with this year’s theme of movement - as a team, we are walking from Ldn to Lisbon via World Walking (our route below). NB. Sadly we are doing so virtually! 🚶♀️ We chose this as our first walk as one of our long standing (no pun intended!) MyMynders recently moved to Portugal and we wanted to start an inclusive fitness challenge where we could all feel involved and use any form of movement to add steps, miles or kms to get there. Whether it’s walking, running, paddleboarding, cycling, Deskercising, cold water swimming, hoovering, walking meetings or choosing standing desk action instead of solely sitting down, you name it, we’ll be documenting these and totting these up in World Walking to get there in a fun, collaborative, and perhaps competitive way (there is a leaderboard....!) 🌎 Follow us throughout the week as we share our movement activities and wellness workout, and let us know how you’ll be moving for your mental health and wellbeing, and please do not hesitate to contact us to find out how MyMynd can proactively support you with your mental health and wellbeing journey. 💙 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mhaweek2024 #wellbeing #movement #team #mymynd #teammymynd

From empty shell to fully functioning gym 🏋️ Watch the incredible transformation of our HQ’s gym! What was once an empty space is now a fully functioning gym designed to boost both physical and mental health. 🌟💪 Regular exercise is a powerful tool for improving mental health. It reduces stress, anxiety, and depression, and boosts overall mood and mental well-being. Studies show that physical activity increases the production of endorphins, the body’s natural mood lifters, and helps improve sleep, which is crucial for mental health. We recognise the importance of a healthy mind and body, which is why we’ve invested in this fantastic gym. We want our team to have the best resources to stay healthy, happy, and productive. 🧘♀️🌿 #companywellness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #rme #teamrme

At the start of 2024, I was so happy to hear that the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week is “Movement: Moving More for our Mental Health”. Nothing will shake you up internally more than moving around will! I first became a yoga teacher in 2008 and it is still my favourite way to boost energy, reduce stress and feel better. In recent years, I’ve adapted all of my sessions so that they can be done in a conference, a board room or an office. The corporate world needs yoga the most! The combination of sedentary jobs and workplace stress wreaks havoc on our body and mind. Introducing movement and mindfulness to your workday will have a positive effect instantly. Try it now - stand up and stretch your arms over your head and take a deep breath. If you’re feeling like something more active, pop on your favourite tune and dance around! The latter suggestion is obviously if you’re working from home today, but equally I hope that one day in the future it will become the norm to have movement and music breaks! One can hope 😉 I still have a few last minute slots for the next 2 weeks so contact me at [email protected] to book a wellbeing session for your team! #corporatewellness #staffwellbeing #chairyoga #keynotespeaker #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealth #eventprofs #wellbeingatwork #workplacewellbeing #happinessatwork #employeewellbeing #mentalhealthatwork #employeebenefits
