Spring is finally here, and it's the perfect time to rejuvenate your body and mind. While we usually associate spring cleaning with caring for our homes; let's not forget to take care of our health, too.
So, why movement? Research shows that exercise is not only good for our physical health, but for our mental well-being, too. Exercise helps to release endorphins, which boost mood and reduce stress levels. In fact, one study found that regular exercise can be just as effective as medication in treating depression. Always talk to your health care provider before stopping any medication.
Other benefits of moving your body to clear your mind include:
Incorporating more movement into your day with the goal of a clearer mind doesn’t have to be hard. You also don’t need a lot of extra time. By joining us on this challenge, we’ll provide 10 actionable tips you can try. Think of activities like walking by a body of water, doing a walking meditation, or playing an outdoor sport.
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. So, let's take advantage of the changing seasons to spring clean our bodies and minds.
Though this challenge completed on May 12, 2023, please feel free to do it on your own, with a loved one or a colleague. Get started here.

Other benefits of moving your body to clear your mind include:
- Improved cognition: Exercise can increase blood flow to the brain, which can help improve cognitive function and memory. It can also help prevent age-related cognitive decline.
- Reduced anxiety: Movement reduces symptoms of anxiety by releasing tension in the body, which in turn calms the mind.
- Better sleep: Regular physical activity can improve the quality and quantity of sleep, which is essential for health and well-being.
- Increased energy: Exercise can boost energy levels and reduce fatigue, helping you feel more alert and productive throughout the day.
