Happy Valentine's Day, all ❤️
This we'd like to encourage you to give yourself and your body some love by following our President's quick and easy steps towards better self-care 👇
1. Start small 🤏
Many of us often set unmanageable goals for exercise. When we don’t achieve these goals, which are far reaching to start with, this then impacts our motivation, making us less likely to create new positive habits for our wellbeing. It’s great to set longer term intentions but start small. Over time this will become almost an automatic habit and you can build it up from there!
2. Get up, get moving 🚶♀️
Exercise and physical activity has been proven to improve your mood. Not to mention, your back and body love to stay active. Try and move around every 20-30 minutes, whether at home or at work.
3. Pamper time 🛀
After a long, busy day, try to find some time that’s just for you – whether it’s reading your book or enjoying the sunset in the garden. My moment of peace is always a relaxing bath. If you’re having a long soak, make sure you have a regular stretch and move while in the tub. Many patients agree with me that a nice hot bath can ease off some of the daily muscle aches we all experience, so make sure you are set up for the ultimate unwind!
4. Fresh air will do a world of good 🌳
It’s important to ensure you get enough daylight, particularly throughout the winter months. Vitamin D is an essential part of maintaining your physical and mental wellbeing – and the NHS supports the use of Vitamin D supplements, especially if you’re spending more time indoors. Getting enough sunlight can help to improve your sleep and general mental health, as well as keeping your bones, teeth and muscles healthy – it’s a win-win!
