Move those bodies...
Have you ever noticed how great you feel after taking
a walk, playing basketball, or even just shopping? It’s a
great feeling to move around and get our bodies going.
Exercise is the natural way to let our positive feelings
loose and to transform the moods we are in.
When I get in a grumpy mood, the first thing I do
is take a deep breath in and hold it for a few seconds,
then I let it out slowly. I do this four or five times to get
my lungs moving and to let the fresh air into my body
while picturing the negativity flowing out of me with
every exhale. This causes the endorphins in our bodies
to begin to wake up and stretch. Now is the key time
to take a quick walk even if it’s just parking farther
away from the building or store. Those few extra steps
eventually add up and will give us an extra minute to
just breathe and get more exercise.
This is a great time of year to get our bodies moving and take in some fresh air to rid us of the 'winter blues' Spring is in the air and just as the flowers, plants, and nature is flourishing so should our happy thoughts and good vibes. Everyday is a fresh start to let our love shine along with the warm air and cool breezes...

Hi, When I write, I sometimes lose all track of time. When this happens, a walk is the best thing I can do for myself to get back into the real world. You are so right about breathing in fresh air. It does relax me and gives me a sense of peace giving me a smile on my face to greet my family. I always notice that when I don't give myself this time, the rest of the day is rushed which creates negativity. The quote, "Stop and smell the roses" is so true. So many times I have not taken that time and missed the sheer joy that it brings.
