Mindful Monday

Mental Health

This Mindful Monday we would like to look at mindful ways to get out of your head. Here are some of our favourite ways to get out of your head, do you have anymore to add to the list?

In a world where we are constantly having long to-do lists, sitting in front of screens and juggling responsibilities it can be hard to be present with what's going on in the here and now. Being stuck in our head too much can cause stress and anxiety. By finding ways to ground ourselves, we are able to recharge through positive experiences.

For more ways to improve your mental health, visit the Mind block on the health topics tab and select the dropdown, or click Mental Health
