Happiness & Exercise!

 "The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude" - William James -

Attitude in today's world can make a huge difference in how you perceive everything around you! So how can we change our attitudes to create happiness in our lives.

There are many studies that prove exercise can in fact act as an anti-depressant.
A research study at Duke University found that a 30-minute brisk walk or jog 3 times a week worked as well as antidepressant drugs in beating depression.

We all make the excuses of not having enough time to get out for a walk or hit the gym. Would you make enough time if you discovered how much happier you could be, how much easier it would be to smile every day without even having to try, I bet you would.  Instead of hitting the couch first when you get home, change your clothes and hit the sidewalk or gym, don't give yourself that extra 5 minutes... JUST DO IT!

I would be interested in to see how many of you make a dedication to work out three times over the next week and report back how your attitude changed, how did you feel?!

I absolutely love the refreshed feeling after a work out, I feel inspired and empowered! I am motivated. I feel great about my body, sure I have a few extra inches according to "society" but heck, it makes me who I am! Embrace yourself, love yourself for who you are and how you look, simply put, it is what makes YOU, YOU!

Be confident, be proud! Get out there and show it! You deserve to smile effortlessly! Dust of your gym shoes and give yourself, your body and your mind a workout! Find happiness!!!!!

Until tomorrow!!!! TOODLES!
