Do you ever feel overwhelmed with all the things in your life? Your trying to balance home and work or maybe you own your own business. You are simply stressed out. Because, well, life is just stressful sometimes. Do you know what will help?
Go For A Jog????
I know what your thinking, seriously, I want an easy quick fix. Well, to be honest if you do this one thing on a regular basis it does come easy and it does help.
You see, jogging, running or brisk walking causes you to release endorphins in your body, which in turn sends out the feel good sense. And this dear folks helps to alleviate stress in our bodies and minds.
Getting Started
I’m not going to lie, getting started is the hardest part. Oh, but once you do it makes everything seem better. You feel better for one, you seem to think clearer. So, get a partner or join a group, but start walking or running or jogging. You will be so glad you did.
The Side Benefits
Besides reducing stress, jogging on a regular basis can prevent the possibility of type 2 diabetes and heart related issues. This may not be the only answer to your problems but it can definitely be a big piece to the puzzle.
Other Possibilities If Jogging isn’t an option
In some cases individuals can’t run due to injuries and such. If that is the case for you, you might try any form of working out. Lifting weights, elliptical, swimming, sit ups or ab workouts might be a good choice. Really anything to get the blood flowing and endorphins moving is going to do the trick.
Isn’t it great how little everyday choices and a little diligence can make such a huge difference in our daily mood and everyday life.
Here is to living a stressed less life!
Life without fear y’all,
Always,
Bridget
