Exercise & Moving
Did you know the ‘feel-good’ chemicals released through exercise & moving our bodies are the exact same chemicals released when we are in the presence of a romantic interest…

A little sliver of reflection from my survival guide…
Now we all know we should be eating healthily, drinking enough water, and not drinking too much alcohol. However, what we may not be aware of is that when we are struggling with painful emotions or challenging thoughts, we often turn to sugar, fast foods and increased alcohol consumption. All three of these can increase negative thoughts and feelings, especially if we are doing this on a regular basis and have increased the consumption of our alcohol intake. This has been proven to increase our anxiety, depressive thoughts and panic attacks.
Balanced eating that includes a variety of nutritious foods, drinking plenty of fluids, and reducing alcohol consumption can have significant benefits for our mental wellbeing.
Firstly, let’s explore a balanced diet…
Now, let’s explore staying hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day…
And lastly, let’s explore alcohol…
Of course, balanced eating, drinking fluids and having a reduced alcohol consumption is not a remedy for all mental health issues, and it is not a substitute for medication or therapy. However, it can be a valuable addition to a mental wellbeing plan, and it can help to improve our overall quality of life. In addition, balanced eating, staying hydrated, and reducing alcohol consumption, there are several other lifestyle factors that can promote our mental wellbeing.
Remember, over-sharing, and emotional dumping can have negative effects on our mental wellbeing and our relationships with others.
By practising active listening, respecting others’ boundaries, and monitoring our own emotions, we can build healthier, more positive connections with those around us.
