Balancing Mental and Physical Well-being Through Playful Self-Care
Dale Sidebottom

Studies show that our mental and physical health are closely linked. Our thoughts, emotions, and mental state directly influence physical well-being, and it’s literally impossible to separate the two.

This week, we’re focusing on self-care practices and activities that help balance both. These methods have helped many in our FunShops handle personal and work challenges. And we believe they can help you, too. Let’s get started!
