When you’re thinking about your mental health and physical health, it may seem like a no-brainer that they’re so closely connected. However, it’s pretty easy to skip over the fact that taking care of yourself physically can help you so much mentally too. I’m excited to shed some light on this topic and help you see how these two important parts really do go hand in hand. In today’s episode, I’m talking about:-The increased awareness of mental health over the years, and how it’s so closely connected with your physical health-My own, beneficial experience with fitness through different seasons of life, and how it’s positively translated to my mental health-6 benefits of how working out can improve your mental healthI’ve personally experienced so many benefits to my mental health over the years, just by being consistent with my workouts; I get to see the same things with the ladies I coach too. As women especially, we experience many of the same struggles, and it’s extremely important that we take care of ourselves physically, because it really does translate mentally (and vice versa).If you need to take time to focus on one area and separate the two, it’s okay to do that. I don’t want you to be afraid to ask for help, because you’re never alone on this journey, and you’re worth taking care of!Check out my brand NEW 1-1 coaching program, where we cut the BS, and learn what to do to get the results you want-for life! https://www.kristycastillo.com/coachingConnect with me over on Instagram @kristycastillofit so we can keep this conversation going!For more help with your health and fitness goals, check out my programs at: https://www.kristycastillo.com/workout-programsIf you’re looking for more of my best fitness and nutrition tips, accountability, community with other like-minded ladies and so much more, join my free Facebook group!Check out the FULL SHOW NOTES (link below) for all of my links and resources from this episode, and more! https://www.kristycastillo.com/episode31
