Outdoor October: Step it out with WMHA!<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that we developed new habits from our \u2018Eat Well\u2019 month in September, it was time to keep up the good habits we had already established and moved into another month of Wellbeing. In our Winter Wellbeing Campaign, Outdoor October was the month to \u2018Stay Active\u2019. Or, if you\u2019re new to our campaign, why not try the 2 for the month of October: \u2018Eat Well\u2019 AND \u2018Stay Active\u2019<\/p>\n

Our October Top Tips for wellbeing have plenty of ideas on how to stay outdoors during this month, including all sorts of new ways of looking at keeping active. In addition, you will have heard James Byrne on \u2018Morning Mix\u2019 with Alan Corcoran on Friday last. James is an integrated exercise practitioner and his tips were also very inspiring.<\/p>\n

October’s Top Tips are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set Goals.<\/li>\n
  2. Buddy up, find a friend to stay active with you.<\/li>\n
  3. Check out a Park Run in your area.<\/li>\n
  4. Check out the Couch to 5k Apps<\/li>\n
  5. Hill Walk, Mt Walk. Explore all Mt Leinster has to offer with trails to suit all levels.<\/li>\n

    Sports Active Wexford ran a Walk and Tone 4-week programme in Min Ryan Park, Wexford. Wexford MHA was delighted to be teaming up with Anna Flynn for this programme. On Tuesday, 5th October, there was a Walk and Talk in Wexford, a relaxing stroll along the beautiful Quay and a call back to Wexford MHA\u2019s office on Henrietta Street for a tea\/coffee.<\/p>\n

    There will was a Wellness Caf\u00e9 in Enniscorthy on Thursday, 7th October in the Wexford MHA office in Castle Street, Enniscorthy.<\/p>\n

    We joined Aislinn and Annette each Monday evening at 6.30 for the month for a friendly walk and talk in Enniscorthy to destress and get rid of the cobwebs!.<\/p>\n

    On World Mental Health Day, Wexford MHA launched the annual \u2018Creativity Counts\u2019 Art Exhibition.<\/p>\n
