We know it's even more important to notice the small things in our lives that bring us joy at the moment. Nadia, our Communication and Marketing Officer, talks about what photography does for her. We'd love to hear from you what things you find joy in - feel free to share in the comments.
"My sisters and brother bought me a camera for my birthday a few years ago - one of the old ones that use film. I love to experiment with shooting and developing photos. I like photos that seem surreal, like something out of a dream.
"When I'm taking photos I can really get into a creative flow, which I love and feel is what I need to rebalance and lift my mood. Plus it gets me out in nature, and by looking around for things to photograph I'm also being more present and mindful of my surroundings.
As the Comms and Marketing Officer at Mind BLMK, I’m proud to play a part in finding ways for pockets of our community to still come together and feel connected on these platforms; to use social media as it was originally intended."

"I think people have a tendency to separate physical and mental health, and even emotional health, and I strongly believe we need to treat them as one and the same because one impacts the other directly."
Join us for Virtually Active April and see for yourself whether exercise benefits your mental health, as well as physical health.
Take the pledge today, to get active everyday.
