Wednesday Wellbeing: Re-energise, re-engage and relax

March 10, 2021

During this challenging year you can access numerous resources to support you and your mental health and wellbeing.

A walk provides psychological benefits: It is important that you engage with the world around you, be mindful. Just a simple walk can help you to leave your workday behind and to let go of stresses. Even just 20 minutes per day can improve your wellbeing. As you walk, look at the nature around you as you will notice new buds forming on nearby trees; the trees will flourish in the spring – in just a few weeks’ time. Notice the burst of colour as crocuses start to bloom, or you may get the essence of beautiful fragrance as you pass a hyacinth. Go for a walk in your local park and watch the ducks on the pond or the birds in the sky above.

Cycling and finding new routes: You may choose to find a new walk or a new cycle trail. If you want inspiration, try the local roll & stroll website with tips to help you to plan your route in the local area, as things open up over the weeks ahead. Click here to find routes near you.
