Most people know our feelings influence our movement, BUT movement or our lack of it also influences our feelings! When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain to naturally reduce pain and trigger positive feelings. Endorphins are known as one of the 4 happy hormones.
The benefits of incorporating movement into our daily lives are:
Reduced anxiety, making the brain s fight or flight system less reactive.
Reduced symptoms of depression.
Improved sleep.
Weight loss and weight management.
Reduced risk of disease.
The mind, body connection is intimate and beautifully orchestrated. Movement creates a more positive mindset, and a positive mindset enables our bodies to heal and stay healthy.
