Stress and exercise

I am very stressed person that once needed medication to help manage it. I implemented jogging into a daily routine and my anxiety has dramitically decreased. The anxiety also keep me throught the night, but now I self talk and say save it for thinking on the next days jog. When I'm done with my day's jog I feel like I have left the anxiety on the pavement behind me.

I find that jogging even for 15 minutes a day helps to alleviate my anxiety and my stress a great deal. While it does not seem to be a long time, it is enough time to get my body moving and my heart pumping faster. I don't jog unless I find that my anxiety gets to be too much. These situations are few and far between, but once they appear, running or jogging always helps to calm me down.

I found that routine exercise makes you feel more at peace. It gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Some type of regular exercise will help deal with the stresses that everyone has.
