World Mental health week and an even better time to emphasise the best strategies on getting your mind on top form, and how you need RIGHT NOW to stop caring what negative influencers may or may not say.
We need to get behind our people right now with a clear voice and support them exercising 200%, because mental health was a big problem before lockdown, now voices are not being heard at all and who’s going to kick up the pieces afterwards?
Anyone who doesn’t realise that daily exercise is your catalyst to getting your mind in a much better place is either ignoring strong overwhelming science, hasn’t been shown and supported on how to do it right, or has forgotten how good it feels when done continuously.
I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been for a walk, run, cycle, lifted weights and not felt better, undeniable fact and I speak to a LOT of people every single day.
The problem comes when we are “tripped up” by the influence of others who don’t have our best interest at heart.
It can start with the media, my local shop said a while ago that newspaper sales were WAY DOWN, sensing people are fed up with the constant doom and gloom, with the self-interest of the editors coming to the fore whatever side you are of the political debate.
It has created a divided nation where you have some feeling (i have these messages most days) some people are looking down at anyone over 60 going for a walk/run or cycle that is undeniably doing incredible things for their mental health.
We have a once in a lifetime thirst we have NEVER had off people wanting to go outdoors and exercise, and we need to build on it and boost all their immune systems with this great opportunity right now, yet many feel as if they are not given wholehearted support because of mixed messages.
Every single person who I know who has come into our gym has always experienced not only a great feel good factor and great physical results, but over time they notice they get ill FAR less, and their mental health has been transformed, and have gone on to see it as their daily catalyst to crush anxiety, doubt and stress, I see this every day and it literally MAKES my day because I know it is a strong fact!!!
BACK the people in their undeniable urge to be fit and healthy to help their physical AND MENTAL HEALTH, and we need to support and admire them as much as we can.
ENCOURAGE everyone you know to get strong, to keep boosting their bodies by exercising and eating right, and whilst doing all of this, you will be CERTAIN that you will be doing ALL YOU CAN for World Mental health week.
ACTIONS will always speak louder than words.
