Work, family, Finances, friends.

These are all things that can cause

stress. And they affect us in so

many ways.

From our emotional state to our

blood pressure can have some

lifelong consequences to our

health. Stress can be managed in

many positive ways. Today we’re

going to talk about exercise, one of

the best stress relievers out there.

The benefits can be astounding, if

you do it right. Here are a few

reasons why exercise will help you

relieve stress. According to Mayo

Clinic, here are a few exercise

benefits:

It pumps up your

endorphins. Physical your brain’s

feel-good neurotransmitters, called

endorphins. Although this function is

often activity helps to bump up the

production of referred to as a runner’s

high, a rousing game of tennis or a

nature hike also can contribute to this

same feeling.

It’s meditation in motion. After a fast-

paced game of racquetball or several

laps in the pool, you’ll often find that

you’ve forgotten the day’s irritations

and concentrated only on your body’s

movements. As you begin to regularly

shed your daily tensions through

movement and physical activity,

you may find that this focus on a single

task, and the resulting energy and

optimism, can help you remain calm and

clear in everything that you do.

It improves your mood. Regular

exercise can increase self-confidence

and lower the symptoms associated with

mild depression and anxiety.

Exercise also can improve

your sleep, which is often

disrupted by stress, depression

and anxiety. All this can ease

your stress levels and give you

a sense of command over your

body and your life.

Your body was created with all the

stress-relieving chemicals it

needs. The brain is full of anti-

depressive, anti anxiety

chemicals. Sometimes, we just

need to help release those mood

enhancing elements. It even

affects me.

When I come home from the office, my

wife will sometimes ask me “Have you

exercised in a while?” I know that I

must be pretty stressed when she asks

that question. Remember, take healthy

steps to manage your stress. Exercise

is one really effective step. You’re not

just doing this for yourself. You’re

making a difference for your entire

family.
