When we are mentally healthy, we enjoy our life and environment, and the people in it. We can be creative, learn, try new things, and take risks. We are better able to cope with difficult times in our personal and professional lives.

Poor mental health makes us more vulnerable to certain physical health problems, such as heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Nurturing our mental health can also help prevent the development of mental illnesses. Good mental health helps us have a more positive outlook and enjoy our lives more.

When you do physical activity your brain releases endorphins which help to lift your mood and also give you energy. Regular exercise can also help you to sleep better and feel more at one with yourself.

One of the best ways to stay on top of Mental Health during lockdown is through exercise. The pandemic is a tough time, so self care is important more than ever for our emotional, physical and mental wellbeing,

The definition of Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. In other words to bounce back, and it is this quality that allows us to overcome the challenges we have faced and are still facing through the pandemic, instead of allowing it to defeat us. We cannot lose hope and must remain optimistic that we will get through this.

We want people to practice self care

1. Setting realistic, achievable and measurable goals

2. Understanding and avoiding negative self-talk

3. Developing and focusing on interpersonal skills,

   Physical activity is as good for the brain as it is for the body
