Our SHUWellness team are taking a break. This means that our 'X' feed maybe a little quiet for a while.
We hope to resume service soon to continue supporting you with your health, wellbeing & lifestyle goals, but for now, our team want to thank all our followers for your support

When did you last take a stroll (or fast paced walk) around your local area?
Take advantage of an #ActiveLunchbreak or the nights becoming lighter & take a walk, noticing new things as you go

Remember today's #ActiveApril task?
That's right; sing!
Where did you bellow out a good tune today & what was it?
Our practitioner @Ali_Beswick rocked out to Bon Jovi whilst making tea. Oreo (👇) took cover in his carrier... no animals were harmed by Ali's 'tuneful' 🙄voice...

[SHUWellness @SHUWellness]

Who doesn't love singing along to a good old ballad, rock or pop song?! (other genres are available).
Engage your vocal chords & awaken your lungs; sing along to your favourite songs at any opportunity you get today. Singing in tune is optional😂

Relaxing your mind & body can be really beneficial (and enjoyable too). Why not spend a short period of time today practising yoga, tai chi, meditation or mindfulness?

Here's your reminder to try to settle down earlier this evening & make #sleep your priority.
It doesn't have to be stupidly early, even an hour, or half an hour earlier than normal is still a change & could help you get a good quality sleep. Your body & brain will thank you 👊

[SHUWellness @SHUWellness]

If you have ever attended our #SleepWell workshop, or had a night of shocking sleep, you will know how important #Sleep is for our body, brain & health.
Today's #ActiveApril task is to make sleep a priority & go to bed for a reasonable time, even just a little earlier than usual

[SHUWellness @SHUWellness]

Today is #Day12 of #ActiveApril @actionhappiness.
How much can you move today?
Movement includes walking, stretching, using the stairs instead of the lift, hitting the gym, swimming; anything that gets your body moving around

[SHUWellness @SHUWellness]

The SHUWellness Team are loving the #ActiveApril calendar developed by @actionhappiness.
Physical activity is fantastic for the body & mind & the Active April calendar has been designed to help you set yourself small, #Realistic #Goals each day to be more active 👍

Our Popular #LineManagerTraining is back on 15th April to support #LineManagers at #SHU support the health & wellbeing of their direct reports & wider team. The session will focus on effective #Communication. It is an interactive session consistently receiving positive feedback👍

@natgrin88 combine this assessment with our new muscle mass (in arms and legs) assessment too (which also provides an Relative Appendicular Lean Mass result) ...🤯

Stress and anxiety are terms that are often used interchangeably. This is not surprising, because the physical response to both feels the same. The good news? 🥳 psychological treatment for both conditions is similar and effective.

How stress can contribute to inflammation in our body

I posted this on my instagram and got a huge response, so thought I’d share here too x

[SHUWellness @SHUWellness]

@natgrin88 Absolutely! With a 5 year old in our house, every day is April Fools🙄(and not by our choice) so we didn't advertise it this year 😂- Ali

[SHUWellness @SHUWellness]

Okay so it's 1st April.
What April Fools have you fallen victim to today?
or what April Fools have you made others fall victim to?

Resilience isn’t about never getting knocked down. It’s finding the strength to get back up again and move forward

[SHUWellness @SHUWellness]

Recognising our symptoms of stress can help us to identify the cause, or at least a pattern. We can then use this to work on reducing the amount of stress we experience, or putting actions in place to help us feel less overwhelmed at that time.
#StressAwarenessMonth

[SHUWellness @SHUWellness]

Sometimes it's difficult to know the cause of our #Stress, so it's important to recognise our symptoms of stress...
These are just a few:
- anxiety
- increased heart rate
- sweaty palms
- short fuse/impatient
- sleep issues (exhausted/insomnia)
- upset stomach
- negative feelings

[SHUWellness @SHUWellness]

This month is #StressAwarenessMonth.
Did you know there are 2 types of #Stress? Eustress excites, drives & energises us; this kind of stress helps us to get out of bed & be productive.
Di-stress (distress) has negative implications & is more often referred to as 'stress'...
