It’s important to invest time in staying both mentally and physically fit.
It is important to regularly check in on ourselves as well as others and continue to look after our mental health and wellbeing. This helps us feel equipped to deal with challenges and curve balls as they arise.
Please scroll down for useful resources on understanding more about mental wellbeing and how to stay mentally fit, as well as links to useful numbers and websites.
Our recent Go You! wellbeing webinars with registered psychologist Wanda Douglas also run through some great ways to stay mentally fit and offer some important tips on how to get through more challenging times.
Webinar - Looking after our Mental Fitness
In this session, Wanda explained what's happening when we're stressed and under pressure, ways to manage this and how we can always be working on our mental fitness. We also covered how to use the Mental Health Continuum and how to check in on yourself and those around you.
Webinar - Reframing our mindset
In this session, Wanda shared tips and tricks on staying mentally fit, as well as focusing on reframing our mindset to prevent a negative spiral during challenging times.
Staying mentally fit helps us become more robust, more productive, more positive and better prepared for life’s ups and downs.
Our mental and physical health are very much interlinked. They can also fluctuate so it is important to recognise the signs of being unwell and reach out sooner rather than later. This can sometimes feel uncomfortable so the more we destigmatise talking about mental health the easier and better it becomes for everyone.
