Lindsey Fitness News - 15th February 2024

Published: Thu, 02/15/24

A belated Happy Valentines Day to you all ❤️❤️❤️and I hope yours was a truly happy and lovely one! It's been another great week at Lindsey Fitness with some terrific application to all the new routines at classes this month! Maybe is is the feeling that Spring is in the air with some brighter days along with natures visual signs . I was so lifted on my walks and runs with Frank the Vizsla this week to see daffodils now starting to bloom amongst the snowdrops. Also bluebell shoots in the woods around Tewin which promise to be another dazzlingly, joyful display of just how wonderful the natural world around us truly is. Which brings me to this weeks article on Mental Wellbeing and how we may help ourselves. I know for me walking and running outdoors with Frank ( and Gary and friends of course) plays a huge part for my mindset and mood. How about you ? Check out the full NHS article on how to help yourself along with details of further help options should they be needed.

What is Mental Wellbeing?...

The NHS describes Mental wellbeing as feeling good – about yourself and the world around you – and being able to get on with life in the way you want.

5 Steps to Mental Wellbeing....

Evidence suggests there are 5 steps you can take to improve your mental health and wellbeing. Trying these things could help you feel more positive and able to get the most out of life.

1. Connect with other people

Good relationships are important for your mental wellbeing. They can:

help you to build a sense of belonging and self-worth
give you an opportunity to share positive experiences
provide emotional support and allow you to support others:

2. Be physically active

Being active is not only great for your physical health and fitness. Evidence also shows it can also improve your mental wellbeing by:

raising your self-esteem
helping you to set goals or challenges and achieve them
causing chemical changes in your brain which can help to positively change your mood

3. Learn new skills

Research shows that learning new skills can also improve your mental wellbeing by:

boosting self-confidence and raising self-esteem
helping you to build a sense of purpose
helping you to connect with others

Even if you feel like you do not have enough time, or you may not need to learn new things, there are lots of different ways to bring learning into your life.

4. Give to others

Research suggests that acts of giving and kindness can help improve your mental wellbeing by:

creating positive feelings and a sense of reward
giving you a feeling of purpose and self-worth
helping you connect with other people

It could be small acts of kindness towards other people, or larger ones like volunteering in your local community.

5. Pay attention to the present moment (mindfulness)

Paying more attention to the present moment can improve your mental wellbeing. This includes your thoughts and feelings, your body and the world around you.

Some people call this awareness "mindfulness". Mindfulness can help you enjoy life more and understand yourself better. It can positively change the way you feel about life and how you approach challenges.

FOOD MATTERS>>>>>

FISH MAPPAS

(A coconut fish curry)

INGREDIENTS:

300g basmati rice or brown
1 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves chopped
450g tomatoes cut into chunks
3 tbsp tikka curry paste
400g can coconut milk
4 skinless, boneless cod, haddock, pollock or salmon fillets (about 150g/51/2oz each), cut into 4cm/11/2in chunks
½ small pack coriander, roughly chopped

METHOD:

STEP 1

Put a large saucepan of water on to boil and cook the rice following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, wide saucepan over a medium heat and add the onions. Cook for 5-10 mins until softened and starting to colour. Add the garlic and tomatoes, and fry for 2 mins. Add the curry paste, fry for 2 mins more, then pour in the coconut milk and bring to the boil.

STEP 2

Add the fish to the pan and simmer gently for 5-8 mins until just cooked through. Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the coriander over the curry and serve with the rice,( I prefer to just serve with loads of green vegetables) - ENJOY!
