Days like this i need a lifting up.
it's been a really low crashing day
Going to be exercising in the gym for mental health purposes
see benefits of exercise for mental health
Exercise and depression
Studies show that exercise can treat mild
to moderate depression as effectively as antidepressant medication—but
without the side-effects, of course. In addition to relieving depression
symptoms, research also shows that maintaining an exercise schedule can
prevent you from relapsing.
(Boy do I need this benefit)
Exercise and anxiety
Exercise is a natural and effective
anti-anxiety treatment. It relieves tension and stress, boosts physical
and mental energy, and enhances well-being through the release of
endorphins. Anything that gets you moving can help, but you’ll get a
bigger benefit if you pay attention instead of zoning out.
(Need this one too)
Exercise and stress
Ever noticed how your body feels when
you’re under stress? Your muscles may be tense, especially in your face,
neck, and shoulders, leaving you with back or neck pain, or painful
headaches. You may feel a tightness in your chest, a pounding pulse, or
muscle cramps. You may also experience problems such as insomnia,
heartburn, stomachache, diarrhea, or frequent urination. The worry and
discomfort of all these physical symptoms can in turn lead to even more
stress, creating a vicious cycle between your mind and body.
(I think I'm stressed but I look forward to sleeping, anything to escape reality a bit, sooo meh)
Exercise and ADHD
Exercising regularly is one of the
easiest and most effective ways to reduce the symptoms of ADHD and
improve concentration, motivation, memory, and mood. Physical activity
immediately boosts the brain’s dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin
levels—all of which affect focus and attention. In this way, exercise
works in much the same way as ADHD medications such as Ritalin and
Adderall.
(Don't really know what this means but sounds good)
Exercise and PTSD and trauma
Evidence suggests that by really focusing
on your body and how it feels as you exercise, you can actually help
your nervous system become “unstuck” and begin to move out of the
immobilization stress response that characterizes PTSD or trauma.
Instead of thinking about other things, pay close attention to the
physical sensations in your joints and muscles, even your insides as
your body moves. Exercises that involve cross movement and that engage
both arms and legs—such as walking (especially in sand), running,
swimming, weight training, or dancing—are some of your best choices.
Outdoor activities like hiking, sailing,
mountain biking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and skiing
(downhill and cross-country) have also been shown to reduce the symptoms
of PTSD.
(Sounds good too but too much turainchi)
