Essential Steps to Thriving: Moving

One of the ten steps to thriving is to keep your body moving. Being in sports has kept me healthy both physically and mentally. If I am ever having a bad day, nothing clears my mind better than going for a run on a brisk, fall day.  

While partaking in physical activity, the mind seems to forget the stresses of everyday life. The beauty of this is that you have endless options when it comes to choices of physical activity. 

Once your body is in motion, your brain releases “feel-good” neurotransmitters called, endorphins. I personally prefer physical activity as a stress reliever because you can work out your brain and body at the same time. 

 If your mind is busy remembering occurrences of your day, often times you will become oblivious to just how far you are actually taking your workout. There are many ways in which you can thrive. Keeping your body in motion is an excellent way to accomplish this!
