You’re moving, breathing, stretching, flowing, and your body’s feeling great. But are there times that even when you’re physically active and doing “all the right things”, your mind still feel a little (or a lot) off? :face_with_spiral_eyes:

It’s not something we talk about often, but mental and physical health may sometimes go out-of-sync. We can be doing well on the surface yet struggling quietly in the background.

Now the question of the day! :thought_balloon:
Does your physical and mental health feel aligned?

  • All the time!
  • Most of the time~
  • Sometimes yes, sometimes no
  • Rarely, they’re totally different

In my personal experience, physical and mental health usually goes hand in hand.

For instance, when i am stressed from work i feel physically tired. It is also the case in the other way around, as any sort of physical pain or ailments lead to downfall of my mental health.
