Get busy and active

Physical activity has been said to lower rates of anxiety and depression as well as boosting your mood and wellbeing.

Some simple adjustments could be:

• Walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift.
• Doing something active in your lunch break.
• Learn some suitable stretches that help with movement.
• Get off the bus one stop earlier or later than usual and walk the final part of your journey to work/home.
• Some of the healthiest activities of all are very gentle – yoga, tai-chi, pilates.
• Have a kick-about in a local park.
• Do basic exercises from your chair.
• Do the housework and gardening.
• Cold water swimming.
