If the gym/working out feels unappealing, you're not alone! Here are a few reasons to get moving.
- Exercise can increase production of endorphins (mood boosting)
- Improves sleep (yes please)
- Reduces stress and anxiety (after initially getting started, yes)
- Enhances self-esteem and social support
All together these can help fight depression! Other ways to help are red light therapy &/or time in the sauna. I pretend I'm in the sun ☀️
Is there anything that helps you?
