Get Up and Go 

Having a daily routine can help us feel more in control of our day and allows us to focus on things that are important to us and to our mental health. #TogetherWithSOSAD let’s focus on the little things that will get us through the day.

The best way to improve your mental health is through relaxation and inner peace. By meditating daily for 10 minutes can reduce stress and anxiety.

You may think that stretching is only for people who workout - but we all need to stretch weather we are active or inactive.Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong and healthy. Therefore, you should spend a few minutes to stretch daily.

Stretching improves posture and range of motion, decreases back pain and muscle soreness as well as prevents injury. #TogetherWithSOSAD lets do a 5 minute full body stretch: https://youtu.be/pH6KMX0V7d0

​It has been said that colouring calms down the busiest of minds. According to research due to its basic, repetitive motions, colouring engages parts of the cerebral cortex while relaxing the amygdala, the brain's fear centre.

#TogetherWithSOSAD take some time to calm your mind.

Next time you go for a walk, put on headphones and relax your mind with music. Music energizes the body, elevates your mood and increases happiness.
