With Mental Health Week happening at the beginning of May,
we wanted to take a bit of time to think about some of the things
we do in our lives and how they help our mental health. Do you
know that exercising, playing, and having fun are not only
enjoyable activities, but they are also good for your health?
That’s right! Physical activities like sports and recreation can
help you stay healthy and happy.
When we exercise or play sports, our body becomes stronger
and more agile. Regular exercise can improve our stamina and
help us maintain a healthy weight. It also helps to strengthen our
bones and muscles.
Besides the physical benefits, exercise and recreation can also
help us feel better mentally. They can help reduce stress and
anxiety, as well as increase our confidence and self–esteem.
When we engage in physical activities that we enjoy, it can even
make us feel happier and more energetic.
Sports and other recreational activities can also be a lot of fun!
They provide an opportunity to spend time with friends and
family and can even lead to new friendships. Whether it’s a
game of basketball, a hike in the mountains, or a dance class,
there are plenty of ways to get moving and have a good time.
So, make sure to check out some of the articles in this month’s
newsletter and take some time for exercise, recreation, and lei-
sure in your life. It’s good for your physical and mental health,
and it can be a lot of fun too!
