Story

January is notoriously a difficult month for many reasons. Studies show that getting active for 30 minutes everyday can help with:

better sleep by making you feel more tired at the end of the day

happier moods physical activity releases feel-good hormones that make you feel better in yourself and give you more energy

managing stress, anxiety or intrusive and racing thoughts doing something physical releases cortisol which helps us manage stress. Being physically active also gives your brain something to focus on and can be a positive coping strategy for difficult times

Join Dorset in GETTING ACTIVE everyday throughout January. It's FREE to sign up, just donate or fundraise £31 (Just £1 a day).

This could pay for Two active monitoring sessions to provide an early intervention and prevent development of worsening mental health conditions or mental health crisis.

Everyone can take part in Move your Mind, no matter your fitness level. Whether you take part on your own, with friends, family, peers or colleagues you'll be sure to find an activity to suit you.

Taking part in Move your Mind should push you a little further than your usual activities. This may mean you get extra steps in each day by walking instead of driving or jumping on public transport. You could try something new, meet new people or increase your active minutes by doing more of what you love.

We'll also have a program of events taking place throughout January for you to join.

Finally, make sure you look the part by purchasing a Move your Mind, hoody, t-shirt or snood, with all profits going to Dorset Mind. Pre-order until 30th November, after this date our stock will be limited.
