We’ve been spending more time at home lately. Self-isolation helped slow the spread of the Coronavirus, but it can put a strain on our physical and mental health.

Regular physical activity helps both body and mind, particularly during this time. Council is developing a new strategy to encourage our residents to move more, and live more active and healthy lives. The Make Your Move Physical Activity Strategy 2020–2030 will guide services, programs, resources and equipment to ensure you have the support you need to take part in regular physical activity.

MONDAY
It is important to separate work time from home time, otherwise it can feel like you are working very long hours. Set your work hours and turn off your email and work phone outside of those hours. Having a designated workspace also helps. And if you are part of a team at work then make sure you stay in touch with them, as you are all facing the same challenges and can support one another.
The physical and mental health and wellbeing of our residents is a priority for Council, and now this is more important than ever. Although gyms and other public exercise facilities are closed, there are ways to get active at home. You can walk or run around your neighbourhood, or use online exercise videos in your lounge room. One of my activities has been yoga in the backyard with my children Claudia and John (pictured). Council is continuing to support residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have any local issues you want to discuss with me, email me at sean.oreilly@ cgd.vic.gov.au or phone me on 0422 523 258.
