Every reason is absolutely true. It’s so important to stay aware of your body and your overall health. Love your body 💕

8 Reasons Why You Need To Exercise Today

1. It feels good. When we put our bodies through strenuous exercise endorphins are released from the brain and these are the “feel-good” chemicals. This is the body’s way of saying thank you after a workout.

2. Sweat. Sweat isn’t just our natural glow - it allows the lymphatic system to drain out when we sweat - which has a positive impact on our overall health because we are draining toxins from the body.

3. The heart. To avoid problems like heart failure and atherosclerosis in the future we can take action now! 30 minutes of strenuous exercise today can help us to prevent these diseases rather than having to worry about curing them later.

4. Sleep. Many of us have trouble sleeping at night and this can be due to a build-up of energy in the body. If we don’t use up the energy we’re depositing in the form of food and drink through exercise it will keep us awake at night.

5. Hormones. Exercising regularly helps us to regulate hormones which play a huge role in how we think and feel. Maintaining regular hormone levels is beneficial for both our physical and mental health.

6. Fat. Having too much fat on the body can slow us down and invite a whole host of diseases into our lives, exercising regularly keeps our body’s fat content in a healthy range and keeps us fit and active.

7. Muscle. Muscle is not just for showing off at the beach - it’s what we use to carry groceries and catch up with the bus if we’re late. When we exercise our muscles we strengthen them so that they can serve us in our daily lives.

8. Mental health. Exercising can help us to release energy built-up within the body from emotions and this has a positive impact on our mental health. For example, hitting a punchbag if we’re angry is a way to feel & express the emotion without it negatively affecting our lives.

Take care of the body and it will take care of you.

Peace & positive vibes.

For Myself

I’m contemplating this choice of buzzing my head.

I’ve had a pixie cut before but still had to style it and work at it.

It’d be nice to start with a fresh head of locks 💇🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Today may be the day ✊🏼

Where is it at?

Motivation. 

Why do I feel like every motivational bone, every creative cell has been sucked from my soul.

The worst feeling is being unsure of what you’re even going through as it happens. Because everyone knows you’re supposed to know yourself better than anyone else. Yet here I am confused as to what the hell is wrong with me?

Why can I not scrape up enough energy to go to work, am I making excuses without even realizing it? Is this part of the depression I’m currently experiencing? Is this a side effect of my new depression medication? 

The question never stop running through my head on a daily basis for the last 4 days. 

The guilt that builds in me for being this way is unbearable at times. 

Can I help it? Am I self sabotaging myself without even being aware of it. 

It’s the most frustrating thing to be competent of ones mental situation and still not be able to control it or fix it. It’s even harder when you are somewhat of a control freak. 

Rant for the day over.

Depression

Do any of you wake up... and lay there and knowing you want to be a productive human, go to work, make money, but yet you feel glued to your bed? And not in a lazy way but as a safety blanket? Like if you lay here everything will be ok. I feel stuck most days in this never ending loop. Where home is safe, and I can’t even manage to get myself out of bed... I hate that I am admitting this but every bit of it’s true...

What’s crazy is how time flies by on those days you stay home suffering in your own mind; but yet step out the door and time slows down..

I think what is the hardest thing for me is letting my partner down. He works his hardest and doesn’t give up; and he suffers like I do. I don’t want him to think I’m weak or just completely lazy, the truth is I’m not sure what I am currently..

The constant zoning out, being on “another planet” and then continuing to pretend everything is ok is hard. Maybe I am weak? Who knows.

But this is my scared, ugly, truth.

Exploring new places with the person you love is the best thing in the world. This is was the day we both took our new cameras out for a test run, we both decided it was time to start taking more photos. To have physical memories of days like this.

Another year practically come and gone; it’s funny how each year seems to be flying by quicker and quicker. If you can slow down, take it all in, soak in all the small things. Go to a lush green park take your socks and shoes off and feel the blades of grass in between your toes and smile
