Mental Health Habits: Week 2

Posted by Human Resources on January 14, 2019 in Human Resources

January is Mental Health Month at Dalhousie (dal.ca/thrive).

On each of the remaining Mondays in January, a mental health habit will be presented for you to try each day for the rest of the week.  These are practices found to be helpful in maintaining and regaining mental health. 

Week 2: Be physically active for 15 minutes each day. 

Yes, your physical health affects your mental health. Walk, do some stretches, take some stairs. Keep it simple and break up the minutes if you need to.  This is a super mood booster.

Share your reactions to this practice at healthy@dal.ca.

Continuing your practice of gratitude from Week 1, if you can.​
