We know that this month has been a difficult time for many, so we wanted to share some ideas with you today, that will hopefully make you feel good and start your week off in the right way.

Firstly, there's no wrong or right way of doing these activities, you can pick one from our list or maybe you have something of your own that you might like to do?

Here's some ideas for things that you can do today -

1. Do some light stretching, it's important to keep your body moving, particularly if you're sitting down for long periods of time.

2. Step outside and into nature, spending time in green space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing.

3. Play your favourite video game, take some down time today to play your favourite video game.

4. Spend some time reading, there is nothing more satisfying than when you reach the end of your book and get to start a new one.

5. Phone a friend or family member, check in with someone today to see how they are and let them know how you are.

Dedicate some time to your activity, so that you can ensure you enjoy it properly without any additional stresses or worries. Remember this isn't a challenge and is just something we hope will brighten up your day.

It's really important that we try to stay connected to one another during these challenging times, this could be via email or a phone call / video call to check in with each other. It's also important to check in with yourself, to see how you're feeling and what's been happening for you that day.

Beth Timms, our Crisis Café Manager spoke about the necessity of connectivity and the positive benefits it can have on our mental health in a recent discussion about connectivity, Beth mentions that, "Even as adults we need connection to thrive, be well and be healthy."

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health and are looking for a place to start, then our self referral forms online will help you get the ongoing support you need and ensure that you don't have to face this alone.
