A poem to move the world.


Inspired by the incredible feeling of moving with ASICS.

A poem to move minds.

ASICS has partnered with Roziena Salihu to create a new poem, ‘Nothing Feels Better’ to inspire the nation to get active and experience the power of movement on our mental health.

The spoken word poem combines the post-exercise feelings of thousands of people with the science of music to create a track to literally move people.

The State of Mind of the nation. 

The poem was released in response to ASICS’ latest State of Mind index research revealing the current mood of the Netherlands is only 63 out of 100. 

While exercise has been proven to boost mental wellbeing, 86% of us say we need a bit of extra motivation to get moving. Therefore, the new poem has been specifically created to motivate more people to move and boost mental wellbeing.



Listen to the spoken word-poem and raise funds for Mind Us.

Throughout the whole month of June, every listen of the ‘Nothing Feels Better’ poem by Roziena Salihu on Spotify will raise 5 euro for ASICS' new partner Mind Us. 

ASICS Netherlands and MIND Us are joining forces to highlight the positive effects of physical activity on young people's mental health and to encourage them to get moving. With this, they are committing themselves to supporting young people's resilience.

Making a poem to move the world.  

The spoken-word poem is written and performed by multidisciplinary creator Roziena Salihu and is accompanied by a custom-made music track by award-winning sound artist Auntie-Flo (Brian d'Souza).

The uplifting lyrics were inspired by the post-exercise feelings of thousands of people around the world. The track has been composed using scientifically-proven techniques to energise and elevate our mood.
