Yesterday I had a networking meeting, one of many I have had over the past 5 years since Your Time Believe Belong Become CIC began.

These meetings usually start with introducing who we are and our organisations.
I introduced myself and told my story with the same passion as I always have, and it made me pause for thought.

And.....

The reason for the pause...
The words I tell as part of my story sometimes become disconnected from the emotion of the life I am retelling.

As I recalled my story, I looked back at how far I'd come....

This is often a platitude people say to others as a way of encouragement "Look at how far you've come" and yesterday I did.

Pause - Reflect - Celebrate

So, my pause, I actually looked back, and for once I looked back with pride and astonishment at exactly "How far I've come and what I've overcome".

So, my question to you is,

When was the last time you did the same??

I love walking, for its truly amazing benefits both mentally and physically.
This is a fun way to notice the world around you on your walks, no matter your age or ability (wheeling counts if you use a walking aid).
So, why not try it next time you're out and about?

Bingo!!🐿🌿🍁☔️

Autumn has officially arrived, and with the weather changes there's so much to go out and explore.

At Walk Notts we love a walking Bingo card to keep walks fun and interactive. That’s why we have created an Autumn walking bingo card for you to enjoy!

Why not go out on a solo walk and see how many you can tick off or challenge a friend or family member to get a full house first.

Either way you’ll be out in the fresh air and moving your body.

Walking has had the biggest impact on my own mental health and is the reason it is part of Your Time Believe Belong Become CIC wellbeing sessions.

And it can be done at a time that is best for you, and it's free!!

10 October is World Mental Health Day and partners across the city and county have been coming together to explore the role walking and wheeling can play in addressing poor mental health.

Walking/wheeling is one of the simplest ways to support our mental health and wellbeing. It provides an opportunity to slow down, connect with nature, spend time with others, creating space for meaningful conversations.

The city and county wide Nott Alone support service alongside NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Talking Therapies are leading a wellbeing walk at Kingsmill Reservoir on 11 October

The walks will be around raising awareness of some of the issues around su***de and how we can all play a part in supporting each other’s mental health.

Please also see the Walk Notts website: https://walknotts.org.uk/ for a range of walking routes, resources and details of walking groups to help you get started on walking and wheeling
