LIFT YOUR MOOD BY MOVING YOUR BODY
Today I want to talk about how you can get happy by moving your body! And no, it's not just something I say, it's actually a chemical release happening in your body when you move it - the release of endorphins! 🙌✨
Getting happy by moving your body? What on Earth you might think?
But it's actually true. You see, when you exercise you increase endorphins in your body. Endorphins are chemicals produced by the body to relieve stress and pain, so these actually boosts your mood and makes you feel better!
Not only can endorphins make you feel better, they also act as a pain reliever. So if you are feeling mildly anxious or depressed, using your body, moving and exercising it, can actually help you to feel better.
Use this knowledge, to change your mindset towards how you perceive exercising.
Instead of thinking to yourself "Oh no I have to go exercise to keep in shape" or whatever you might tend to think - instead choose to think "I'm going to exercise to lift my mood and feel better!". See exercising as not only a physical service you do for yourself, but also something that can lift your mood and make you feel happier! 🙌✨
You can increase endorphins in your body through other ways as well;
- Through giving, volunteering, donating, helping
- Through yoga and meditation
- Through laughing
