Adding just a bit more movement into our lives can have a really positive impact on our health. 

Here are 5 ways you can get moving and feel better: 

  1. Start Small - Try a short walk

  2. Be Kind to Yourself - Keep a diary or tell a friend about your everyday achievements

  3. Everyday Things Count - Gardening, hoovering, and mopping all involve movement. Chores are good for your health!

  4. Clear Your Head - physical activity can help you move your focus away from unwanted thoughts and worries

  5. Celebrate Achievements - Reward yourself!
