Your Mood On Exercise

Did you know that the feel good chemicals your brain sends out like endorphins and neuro-transmitters actually INCREASE with exercise, therefore helping your mood improve.
Also exercise definitely increases your body temperature and that has been known to CALM you.  There are many benefits to you!
You begin to gain CONFIDENCE, it can help you get distracted from things on your mind, if you go out to exercise in a group setting you also gain some social interaction.
Working out and exercise may have you thinking about intense cardio or zumba class, but it doesn't have to be.   There are numerous ways to get moving.
There is gardening, cleaning the house, strolling around the block, even washing your car.
Think of ways to incorporate it into your daily life, take the stairs instead of an elevator, perhaps park your car further away from the entrance, you could ride your bike to and from work, you can even go for a walk on your lunch hour. Play some outdoor activities with the family or friends, there are many ways to fit it in.
Exercise is a healthy and smart way to aid you in dealing with your mood. So skip the anti-depressants (before stopping any medications please consult your doctor), the junk food/comfort food binges, and the self pity and get up and move.  Even if it is a walk around the block!!
