Looking After Your Mental Health in Wembley

This two-minute read has a look at some of the things you can do to help keep you feeling well and positive.

Looking After Your Mental Health in Wembley
Life, as we knew it pre-pandemic, is gradually looking more like it used to, as Governments across the UK relax Covid-19 rules.
 
This is exciting for many but it can also feel a bit overwhelming as activity levels rise.
 
It’s important to take responsibility for looking after ourselves so we don’t tip over into post-pandemic burnout.
 
Here are some suggestions of tools to try.
 
MEDS
This acronym stands for Meditation, Exercise, Diet, and Sleep.
 
Meditation
If you’ve never tried meditating, the Headspace app is an amazing way to learn. There are also lots of myths around meditating so don’t dismiss it without doing a bit of research first. Insight Timer is another excellent app for free guided meditations, some as short as five minutes.
 
Exercise
This word can strike fear in the hearts of many. It doesn’t have to mean an hour with an army bootcamp, (unless that’s what you’re interested in). How about walking from your house or office for ten minutes, then turning on your heels and walking back? Something is better than nothing.
 
Diet
Diet doesn’t mean only eating kale and protein shakes, (but go for it if that’s what you’ve found works for you). ‘Everything in moderation’ can be a useful mantra. You’ll be just as unwell if you binge on carrots as if you binge on beer. There are lots of trained nutritionists who can give you tailored advice, which can be really helpful for making lasting lifestyle choices.
 
Sleep
There is more and more research being done on sleep; www.sleepstation.org.uk is a great resource. The NHS advise simple ways to help you get to sleep easier and have a better quality of sleep, too. These include:
·       writing a to-do list
·       having a warm bath
·       reading a book, or listening to one
·       generally keeping to the same times for sleep and waking up.
 
Podcasts
Podcasts are essentially radio series from individuals. Adrienne Herbert comes highly recommended with life hacks on her podcast ‘Power Hour’. Great for listening to before bed, on a walk, or even while you’re doing the housework, podcasts can teach you something new or shed insight on a new perspective.

  Hello, my name is Abigail, and I am the Grey in Grey & Co. I started working here in 2002 as a Junior Negotiator and have worked my way up the ranks since then. I took over running the company in 2014 and have been enjoying the roller coaster that is leadership ever since.   During my 20 plus years at Grey & Co I have dealt with the sale of over £100,000,000 worth of property and overseen the management of assets worth £250,000,000 for clients around the world.   I also had the pleasure of working with my father, the founder of Grey & Co, for 15 years before he sadly passed away and from him, I learnt the work hard ethic and our values today are still the ones that he founded the company on all those years ago.   Be Remarkable, Be Passionate, Be Humble and Be Better.   As a community centric boutique family agency, you couldn’t find a better partner to take with you on your property journey.
