Yesterday, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week Yesterday, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week, we had the absolute privilege of partnering with @bluewatershopping and @_egofree @dlawfitness to host a special fitness session focused on the powerful connection between physical activity and mental health🧠 We know that looking after our mental health takes many forms, and for many people, movement and exercise can play a huge role in feeling better, thinking clearer, and managing stress. Yesterday was all about creating a space where people could come together, get active, and feel supported to speak out and reach out. There was so much energy, positivity, and community spirit and it was a beautiful reminder that when we move our bodies, we’re also doing something kind for our minds. The feedback and participation were incredible, and we’re so grateful to everyone who showed up and made it such a meaningful day. We’d like to extend a huge thank you to @bluewatershopping for giving us this opportunity and supporting such an important message. Collaborations like this make a real difference, and we’re incredibly excited to see what we can create together in the future! Let’s keep the conversation going because mental health matters every day! #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #NorthKentMind #MoveForYourMind #EgoFreeFitness #Bluewater #MentalHealthMatters #reel #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthcharity
