Physical & Mental Wellness with Sofia Feghali & Ade Kolade | Peace of Mind | #34
Things like age, our life experiences and physical activity levels can affect both our physical and mental wellness. In today’s episode of Peace of Mind, Lead Counsellor Sofia Feghali speaks with our Digital Wellbeing Counsellor Ade Kolade on how physical activity can positively impact our overall health and wellbeing.
Even small moments of activity can add up and support our daily movement. Whether that’s moving away from your workstation or cycling like Ade, finding ways to get moving can make all the difference.
