Did you know physical activity may help to decrease your stress level? Movement helps to produce endorphins and other chemicals in the brain that increase a sense of well-being. Physical activity may include walking, dancing, yoga, cardio, or strength training. Whatever movement you enjoy, you should try to incorporate daily. More often than not when we feel stressed or overwhelmed, we struggle to feel like making movement a priority. The more we put off physical activity, the harder it becomes to make it into a habit. Even if all you can do is five minutes a day, that five minutes benefits your mental health.
