CAN EXERCISE CAUSE YOU TO RELEASE YOUR EMOTIONS?

Exercise does more than improve your physical health; it improves your mental and emotional health too. Exercise may help you release any pent up emotions, including stress, anger, anxiety and sadness. Exercise may also make you feel good, energized, and revitalized. According to the American Psychological Association, it doesn't matter how hard or how long you exercise, just as long as you do it.

MOOD BOOST

If you've ever experienced a "runner's high," then you are aware how great you feel after a good run. The same feel-good feeling occurs after any kind of intense physical activity. That is because your brain releases endorphins, which are hormones that help mask any aches and pains so that you can push through that 45-minute exercise class or heavy weight lifting workout. Endorphins are also mood enhancers, making you feel happy and refreshed even 24 hours after a workout. Plus, taking care of your health and getting in shape are serious confidence and self-esteem boosters.

STRESS AND ANXIETY

Endorphins, as well as other brain chemicals, also release feelings of stress or anxious. These chemicals, plus the rush of fresh oxygen and blood around your system, work together to help relieve tension from your body and your mind. It also boosts mental and physical energy, which may help clear your head easier or find a solution to a problem. For maximum stress and anxiety release, spend 30 minutes on most days on some kind of aerobic activity, including running, swimming, dancing or gardening.

DEPRESSION

Exercise may help you relieve feelings of sadness, whether it's the rainy day blues or moderate levels of depression. In most cases, exercise affects the brain just like an anti-depressant. It naturally promotes the brain to release feel-good chemicals like endorphins and serotonin, which combat depression. Taking charge of your health also reestablishes positive behaviors, which also helps relieve symptoms like hopelessness and despair. If you are suffering from depression, speak with your doctor about an exercise plan that will help alleviate symptoms.
