The connection between our mental and physical health is deeply complex.

There's no doubt that there IS a connection there, but because there is still so much we don't know about how our brains work, the intimacies of that connection are yet to be fully understood.

But what we can be certain of is that moving our bodies is one of the simplest and most effective ways we can support our mental wellbeing.

Why?

Because movement...

😴 helps us to sleep better, which gives our brains and bodies more energy for tackling day-to-day life

🥳 releases feel-good hormones in our bodies that improve our moods and make us feel happier

💪 makes us feel that we've achieved something positive, giving us a motivational boost

🧘 reduces stress, by releasing cortisol that can help relieve anxiety, racing thoughts and negative thoughts

Even if it's just 10 minutes of stretching each day, moving your body is a powerful way to relieve mental health symptoms and start making progress towards better wellbeing.

In the modern world, it can feel impossible to figure out what you're "supposed" to be doing.

There are so many paths open to us, so many opportunities, and so much pressure to find your passion in life. It can feel challenging to tune out the outside world, ignore what other people are doing or telling you to do, and actually listen to what YOU want to do.

Particularly with social media constantly bombarding us with comparison traps, those of us who aren't constantly achieving or progressing or finding their 'one true passion' can feel like we've somehow failed. Like we're less than other people. Like there's something wrong with us.

But this quote from Carl Jung is a helpful reminder that looking OUTSIDE for the answers is not what really works. We need to look INSIDE, into ourselves, to find what intrinsically motivates us, what makes us happy and what we can do to find satisfaction for ourselves.

Following someone else's path will never result in true contentment, but learning to listen to your own needs will.

Insights published last week by CCLA reveal that there seems to be a disparity between *recognising* mental health issues in the workplace and actually *addressing* those issues.

​Looking at the UK's FTSE 100 companies (the top 100 companies in the UK), the report highlights that almost all FTSE 100 businesses identify mental health as being an important business issue.

​But only 34% of those same 100 businesses actually have mental health priorities or objectives in place for their staff.

​As Ben Schneider says, "the people make the place" - so when mental health of staff isn't translated into actual, tangible support and wellbeing initiatives for those staff, the business will ultimately suffer.

But the report also identified some positive progress, too:

​✅ 76% of FTSE 100 companies had developed initiatives to raise awareness of mental health in the workplace
​✅ 91% reported that they provide employees with access to mental health services
​✅ companies benefited from a 430% return on mental health investment - seeing a £5.30 return for every £1 invested into mental health

​Things are moving in the right direction for the UK's top companies, but there is clearly more work to be done!
