At Laka Energi, we believe that looking after your body is one of the most powerful ways to look after your mind. This R U OK? Day, we’re reminded that true wellbeing is holistic – physical health and mental health go hand in hand.
When your body feels supported, your mind feels lighter. When your mind is cared for, your body responds with energy and strength. That’s why asking, “Are you OK?” is about so much more than words – it’s about creating a safe, supportive space where both body and mind can heal.
Why Physical Health Matters
Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm don’t just sit in the mind – they show up in the body too. Tight shoulders, aching backs, constant fatigue, or headaches can all be signs that someone is struggling. By taking steps to reset, realign, and recharge physically, we can ease these burdens and create room for emotional healing too.
At Laka Energi, our treatments are designed not just to relieve pain, but to restore balance. When your body feels freer, it becomes easier to process emotions, have honest conversations, and connect with others.
How You Can Support Someone
This R U OK? Day, remember the power of both listening and encouraging healthy practices:
1. Stay connected – Check in again; healing is a journey, not a one-time moment.
2. Ask with care – A simple “Are you OK?” can open a door.
3. Listen fully – Give space for whatever they want to share.
4. Encourage self-care – Suggest gentle exercise, rest, or bodywork to support both mental and physical release.
Simple Practices to Support Body and Mind
Here are a few easy ways you can create space for both physical and emotional wellbeing today:
1. Prioritize care – Schedule a treatment, massage, or physiotherapy session to support your body’s recovery and resilience.
2.Stretch it out – Take five minutes to stretch your shoulders, neck, and back. Releasing tension in the body can calm the nervous system.
3. Breathe deeply – Try 3 slow, deep breaths in and out when you feel overwhelmed. Breathwork lowers stress and helps reset your energy.
4. Move gently – A short walk or light movement can lift mood, increase circulation, and help process emotions.
5. Connect mindfully – Share a cup of tea or coffee with someone and check in on how they’re really doing.
