Do you want to feel more energized and positive?

 

I've always heard that exercising can help with my mental health but I never realized it until now. I have been exercising for three and a half months now but I recently took a 3 week's break. I'm pretty sure in a previous post I talked about how I barely cried in a long time and that it might have been because of exercising. But something changed during my 3-week break. 

I felt depressed for no reason at all. I would feel the need to cry when I didn't even know what I was crying about. My brain was even trying to find things in my life to cry about but it just wasn't giving what it was supposed to give. At first, when this happened I had no idea what was going on. But then I realized it was because I needed to continue exercising. 

Exercising is actually a great coping skill. Mainly because you're actually getting benefits from it not that other coping skills aren't beneficial. But think about it, if you were to distract yourself with YouTube or TikTok the only benefit would be that you're distracted from what you want to be distracted from. This is a fine coping skill that I still use but you actually get something out of exercising. With exercise, you get distracted, healthier, and happier. You should give it a try! First, start with a 10-minute cardio workout and then work your way up to 30. And you can work it around your schedule.

I get so much out of exercising. Immediately after exercising, I feel different from how I felt before I exercised. For example, I could be having a bad day filled with anxiety then I make some time to do a 30-minute workout and it changes everything. It's really a game changer.
