Movement is one of the best ways to tap into your power and elevate your mood. Exercise has gobs of benefits: from stamina and strength to better sleep and more flexibility, it really covers the gamut. For those of you who incorporate exercise into your life, it may come as no surprise that exercise and mindful movement play a big role in improving our mood. According to the NYT article, Get Up and Move. It May Make You Happier., ” Epidemiological studies have found, for example, that people who exercise or otherwise are active typically are less prone to depression and anxiety than sedentary people.” Scheduling exercise into your day, by attending a class, is a great way to ensure you’re on well on your way to a better outlook and a stronger physique. And, when your schedule conflicts and class isn’t an option, integrating exercise into your life with a handy dandy DIY is another sure-fire way to get you out of that funk, upgrade your outlook on life, and strengthen your happiness muscle.
