🔆 MEN’s HEALTH WEEK - One Step At A Time 🔆
🔅 DAY 1 - Trash the Ash 🔅

starts today. Today’s focus is on smoking. It would be difficult to suddenly stop smoking if you smoked for years. However, using the supports available can help people gradually reduce, and then stop smoking. Lots of great recommendations in the Action Man manual:

🔅 The Five Ways to Wellbeing 🔅

Before kicks off on Monday, it might be useful to consider The Five Ways to Wellbeing. They are a set of evidence-based, everyday actions proven to improve mental health and emotional resilience.

Simple actions & benefits include:
🔅Connecting with others helps to build self-
esteem and a sense of belonging
🔅Being active has physical & emotional benefits
🔅Focusing on being present in a busy world
🔅Learning keeps our brain active & gives us
purpose
🔅Being kind to others helps us to connect and
belong e.g. volunteering

. 🔆 MEN’s HEALTH WEEK 🔆

Men’s Health Week will run from Monday, the 15th to Sunday, the 21st of June (Father’s Day). We will be sharing practical info every day next week. This year in Ireland, the theme for MHW 2026 is:
🔅 “One Step at a Time” 🔅

This theme encourages men and boys to focus on progress, not perfection. Men’s Health Week promotes practical, positive action, raising awareness, building health knowledge, supporting healthier lifestyle choices, strengthening wellbeing and encouraging early action when health concerns arise.

Small steps that men and boys take in terms of their health consistently, can make a meaningful difference over time, and health issues could be caught early 🤞

. 🔆 Do We Have a New Walker? 😉 🔆

Our Glanmire Walkers and Talkers meet a lot of people on our walks and we are always delighted when we have a new walker to join us ☺️

This morning we met a lady who was so kind to be in a photo with us. We’re not sure if she will have time to walk with us before her fight in Croke Park 🥊 💪 🥊
