| Mind Your Body, Feed Your Mind (Part 1) |
This workshop investigates the links between our physical health and mental wellbeing. We look at the meaning of ‘sedentary lifestyle’ and the impact it has on our mind, reflecting on our own current lifestyle. We then discover four key ‘happy hormones’ and explore the ways we can increase these for ourselves. We reflect on our current dietary habits before exploring some feasible changes we can make for the better.
Location: The Station, Silver Street, Bristol, BS1 2AG Date: 17 January 2020 Time: 10:30 to 12:30
