Spring Into Action! 

3/19/2013

You are probably aware of the physical benefits of exercise, but did you know that it can do wonders for your mental and emotional health?  Studies show that exercising produces endorphins, our body's natural tranquilizers, which boosts our mood.  This is what is referred to when people talk about the 'runner's high'.  Increasing physical activity also enhances mental abilities of alertness and concentration.  It serves as a focused distraction and a constructive outlet for stress and tension.

Don't have the time for a structured workout right now?  That's okay; start small.  Park at the end of the parking lot and walk to the building; take the stairs instead of the elevator; get up from your computer chair and jog in place for five minutes. Take advantage of the longer daylight hours and meet someone in the park to walk around the trail.  Looking at any activity as some activity will increase the desire to do more activity!  As it is said, 'a body at rest stays at rest, but a body in motion stays in motion'!  What will you do TODAY to spring your body into action for better physical, mental and emotional health?

Happy Valentine's Day!

February is the month for chocolate!  Many of us will give and receive delectable sweets mostly in the form of chocolate! Wait….before you put that third or fourth cupcake to your lips, read this!   Too many sugary sweets can affect your mood. Research shows that processed sugars are quickly absorbed in the body raising endorphin levels creating a rise in mood or happiness.  Too much sugar intake will set off the brain’s trigger to regulate the amount of endorphins, thus creating a down or depressed mood.  Feeling this ‘crash’, we reach for the next cupcake hoping to return to the good feelings we had before; creating a vicious cycle.  Don’t let sugar become a replacement for a healthy mind, body and soul. Enjoy Valentine’s Day . . . in moderation!  Don’t beat yourself up if you splurge, though; just know you've been warned!

Be Sweet to Yourself and contact me to help you release your fears and enjoy the life you were called to live! Anxiety and depression go hand in hand and can be weighing you down, limiting you from doing things you used to do or would like to do.  Counseling can help!
