My therapist told me:
Anxiety feeds on stillness. When you sit frozen in your thoughts, your mind can feel like a cage.
But the moment you move, whether it’s a walk, a stretch, or even doing the dishes, your body starts releasing chemicals that lower stress and lift your mood.
Movement reminds your brain you’re not stuck. You’re safe.

It’s amazing how that works. I was feeling grumpy recently and pretty much went on strike both personally and professionally for the morning. Luckily, a work call got my butt in gear and I forgot all about the downs. Having said that, my favourite therapist says it’s also important to feel what you’re feeling, as this too eases tension. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
