It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek 💚🎗️😊 This years theme is #Movement and moving for our mental health, and when it comes to movement when in recovery from eating disorders, it’s all about balance. The joy of movement should be to simply enjoy the experience of moving!

Many people see movement only as a means to lose weight or achieve a certain body shape. However participating in physical movement can be a joyful experience and help you connect more deeply to your body in a healthy and healing way. #MHAW24 #MindfulMovement

Walking is a great way to integrate #mindfulness into your everyday life.🌿 A gentle walk can be a soothing experience that allows you to fully immerse yourself in the present moment.

"In a world that often prioritizes physical fitness over mental health, remember that your emotional well-being deserves just as much attention." Check out this weeks blog about Mindful Movement: Nurturing Mental Health through Gentle Motion here buff.ly/3wjNyVf #MHAW24

Spending too much time planning, problem-solving, daydreaming, or thinking negative or random thoughts can be draining. Practicing mindfulness exercises can help you direct your attention away from this kind of thinking and engage with the world around you. #MHAW24 #Mindfulness
