Exercise may cure your anxiety.

Our body-brain connection allows activity to directly impact the way our mind is interpreting our world. This process is called “bio-feedback”, and it’s massively helpful for our mental health.

If you are feeling anxious, make sure you try and get some exercise as a way to manage that stress.

For example: You wake up and start feeling nervous about a work presentation you have that day. You might trying leaving the house an hour earlier to go and play a game of pick up basketball. The exercise will work wonders for your stress and will help fight off any building anxiety.

Of course, you might be physically tired afterwards. That’s ok though, because your brain won’t be. It expects that exercise will be followed by a state of rest, calm, and regeneration and will give you mental space for it to happen.

Additionally, once you’re finished with something stressful you should try lightly exercising again. In the previous example, after your presentation is finished you might go for a walk. Again, this will help regulate your brain through the bio-feedback process and keep you from getting further wound up in stress.

God has designed our body and brain to work together for our benefit and we can intentionally tap into that for our modern lives.

So going forward, make a plan on how you can exercise as a way to manage anxiety you might be feeling about work, finances, family, or otherwise!

As always, remember that you can reach out to professionals who are ready and willing to support you through difficult times.
