Movement
For this theme, movement means moving your body and being more active in your everyday life. If we introduce more movement into our everyday lives, this can have a positive effect on our wellbeing.
This is because movement can help our mind and
body in the following ways…
• To think more clearly
• To feel better about ourselves and others
• To sleep better at night
• To have more energy during the day
• To connect with others

The Science behind Movement
Moving your body more can release chemicals in your body, such as endorphins and dopamine.
Endorphins: Make us feel good and less stressed
Dopamine: Helps to motivate us and raise our energy.
