The new year is here and that means it’s the perfect time to reset and recharge your body. The festive season can be a busy time, from planning events to seeing your loved ones. It can often leave you feeling drained or burnt out and in need of another holiday. We’ve compiled some wellness trends to try in 2024, and why they’ll be a great addition to your ongoing health routine.

Digital detox

One of the trends that has no barriers to entry, a digital detox is a simple way to unplug from your devices and your social media accounts. Our digital world means we’re constantly on our phones being bombarded with information, no matter where we are. Taking a digital detox can be a way to reclaim your time, put forth your energy towards hobbies you’ve always wanted to try or spending time with loved ones in real time. It can help reprogram the way you engage with content, help your sleep patterns and improve your overall wellbeing.

Sip on a mocktail

While alcohol is a favourite over the festive season, the new year often starts with Dry January. Alternatively you can take part in Dry July or Ocsober. Limiting or reducing your alcohol consumption has a positive impact on your mental health, your diet and can assist with weight loss goals. There are plenty of mocktail options to try and it’s a creative way to learn more about your own drink preferences in the future.

Sound healing

Have you heard of a sound bath? It can be described as a full body calming experience where you are surrounded by soothing sounds, either solo or in a group setting. The sounds can come from a crystal singing bowl and participants are usually laying down while immersed in this experience. If you’ve struggled to sleep, meditate or slow down after a stressful day, certain sound frequencies can help your mind soothe itself into a calmer state. If you can’t find a sound bath practitioner near you, you can always search up sound bath sounds on YouTube.

LED light therapy

Finally, you’ve probably seen those light up LED masks all over your social media feeds. While you don’t need to look like a Transformer at home, LED therapy is used to treat skin conditions as an effective beauty and skincare tool. It’s considered a less invasive skin therapy when compared to lasers, and although it can be pricey, you can do it in the comfort of your home.

The Importance of Physical Exercise for Mental Well-being

October is Mental Health Awareness Month and we’re elevating the conversation around mental well-being.

Research shows us that fitness plays a big part in achieving the six elements of mental well-being, especially in improving your relationship with yourself and others, independence, personal growth, and development, as well as having a purpose; a dedicated goal. Engaging in regular exercise can have a positive influence on various aspects of mental well-being, including mood, stress levels, cognitive function, and overall quality of life.
We share the top reasons why staying active is one of the most important things you can do for yourself, starting today!

Getting that Endorphine High

Exercise stimulates the release of neurotransmitters like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. These chemicals play a crucial role in regulating mood and reducing feelings of anxiety and depression. Endorphins, in particular, are often referred to as “feel-good” hormones because they create a sense of euphoria and reduce pain perception.

Less Stress

Physical activity can act as a natural stress reliever. It helps the body better manage and recover from stress by reducing the production of stress hormones like cortisol. Regular exercise can also improve the body’s ability to cope with future stressors.

Social Interaction

Many forms of exercise, such as group classes or team sports, provide opportunities for social interaction. Social connections are vital for mental health, as they can combat feelings of loneliness and provide emotional support. “Members exercising in group environments are more likely to achieve their goals, build relationships with like-minded individuals, and exercise more often, resulting in them achieving their personal health, wellness, and fitness goals more readily. With this in mind, at Ignite Fitness, the club layout, the type of equipment, the volume of equipment, and the set-up of areas where our coaches can deliver group workouts have been conceptualised to reach this goal. Together with our studios and arenas, we are uniquely set up to present the widest range of classes for our members. These classes are led by Personal Trainers/Coaches that focus on safe, interval, strength, and conditioning workouts with the latest trends in class structure and equipment.” says Hugo.

Improved Sleep

People who exercise regularly tend to have better sleep patterns. Quality sleep is essential for mental wellness, as it allows the brain to rest and recharge. Poor sleep can lead to mood disturbances, cognitive impairments, and increased stress.

Enhanced Self-Esteem

Achieving fitness goals, whether they are related to weight loss, strength, or endurance, can boost self-esteem and self-confidence. This improved self-image can positively affect mental well-being and help individuals feel more in control of their lives.

Mind-Body Connection

Practices like yoga and mindfulness meditation, which are often incorporated into fitness routines, emphasise the mind-body connection. These activities can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, promoting emotional regulation and self-awareness. “Your subconscious mind is most malleable in the evening and in the morning. This is the best time to rewire your belief system. Before bed or in the evening before meditation/yoga practice, recall 5 things you are grateful for throughout the day, these can be little or big things. The purpose is to attune your mind to look to things to be grateful for. Right when your eyes open (from sleep, meditation/yoga practice) affirm anything you are focusing on manifesting. “today’s going to be a great day”, “Today is going to be full of miracles.” Try this practice for 21 days and watch your whole life change!” says Business and Mindset Coach, Harley Rose Harris.

It’s important to note that the relationship between fitness and mental wellness is not one-size-fits-all. However, incorporating physical activity into one’s lifestyle can have a significant and positive impact on mental health and well-being. There’s no time like the present!
