Practical insights and advice regarding anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting and more.
Even modest exercise can help beat back anxiety and depression. But most people find it difficult to consistently put in the work required to gain these benefits. The problem is often that regular exercise has not become a habit.

It may often feel like our feelings determine our reality - we feel happy, so life is good. We feel kind and patient with others, so we are good people. Or conversely, we feel unkind or impatient, so we are unkind or impatient. We may feel very sad or very angry, so we take that to mean our life is not good (at least not right now). In reality, our behaviors have much more to do with our reality than our feelings.
