But, on this Friday am I did have an epiphany on something I have tried to keep up on that helps me feel better.
EXERCISE. Cheapest therapy around and best way to pull me out of my funk or help me have a handle on my life. Sweating out your troubles is better than any med I know. Just do it, big or small those calorie burning, stress squashing minutes are worth it! I rely on this method often and my body and mind love me for it.
So matter what you do or what you have time for, squeeze some exercise in. The mental benefits almost outweigh the physical. Happy Friday!

I started Savvy Summer this past year, where healthy habits are key, and I'm trying to bring that into Fall, but I definitely need to create an exercise routine.
ReplyDeleteI want to check that out! Thx!
DeleteI used to be one of those moms who made the excuse "I have no time" but it's kind of bs. I now enjoy squeezing in time with my kids. We even have PE here at home which is a lot of fun. BTW your children are absolutely precious and I was unaware of Aicard- Syndrome. Your babies are all beautiful little rays of sunshine! Be blessed!
ReplyDeleteThank you do much:). And how fun! PE at home!
DeleteYou're so right, exercise is the cheapest therapy going. I go on daily walks with my son and it's been the best thing ever for clearing my mind.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love exercising with me too. Thx for reading :)
DeleteExercise! That's what I needed now, to eliminate the saggy arms and legs I have right now after losing 10Kilograms..
ReplyDeleteIt's just a matter of determination.. :)
Great advice!
ReplyDeleteYup! I workout every single day and it's definitely how I keep my sanity. I work off my stress and get a little alone time.
ReplyDeleteway to go girl! You keep on striving to be the best version of you and it will absolutely pay off! <3
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a goal of mine to start squeezing some exercise in! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI have a love/ hate relationship with the gym. But you're right, you feel so much better after working out! Good for you making that little time for you!
ReplyDeleteExercise is the cheapest therapy indeed. It also releases endorphins to keep us happy.
ReplyDeleteExercise really is good therapy. I am starting up exercising again tomorrow. I have been trying to squeeze it in at night with putting the kids to bed and that is just NOT working. Hopefully this morning therapy will help this tired working momma.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great advice. I know I always feel better after a workout. I need to workout when I get off work today.
ReplyDeleteI am really trying to get into shape much more lately. Great advice! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, exercise is so therapeutic, now if only I could find more time to do it! :)
ReplyDeleteI find that when I exercise it helps so much with stress! I just need to make more time for it!
ReplyDeleteThis post reminds me to exercise more often. How many minutes do you get to spend each day for physical activities?
ReplyDeleteI'm really bad to always have an excuse for not exercising. :( I just finished a 10 day sugar detox and am starting to workout tomorrow... and you just motivated me even more!
ReplyDeleteAnd that reminds me to go running!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tip! I really need to get back to jogging on a regular basis!
ReplyDeleteIt's so true that it makes you feel worlds better to exercise! I really need to get back into it again because I felt GREAT when I did it daily.
ReplyDeleteRunning is awesome for stress-free alone time. I wish I could do it more!
ReplyDeleteSO TRUE! But why is it like one the hardest things to do?
ReplyDeleteThe worst feeling in the world is to discover your child has life threatening disease. You are a very brave mother. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteYes! Totally with you on this! I work out ~5 days/week, and couldn't imagine having it any other way. It's not always easy, but i know it's something key to my happiess, sanity, energy, and continued feeling of youth. ;)

ReplyDeleteYes, working out is good
ReplyDeleteI told my mom i've GOT to start walking more - so i even moved a doc appointment to the afternoon this week so i can get out and walk in the morning! =)
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! I started exercising about 6 months ago, and my stress levels plummeted. It's such a wonderful natural medicine!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to work on working out more!! I always intend to do it, but time just slips away
ReplyDeleteMy dad and my sisters used to run every morning when we still live in my parents house. Exercise is the cheapest form of bonding.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the strength, and the back to allow me to workout! Glad you have found the way to.
