โSimply moving your body, has immediate, long-lasting and protective benefits for your brainโ
– Wendy Suzuki, profesor of Natural Science and Psychology ๐
:::
Excercise will have both a positive chemical effect on your brain ๐ง reducing stress and improving mood as well as resulting in lasting positive benefits for the brain and body!
:::
It is scientifically proven that working out improves your mood and decreases feelings of depression, anxiety and stress ๐ค.
After a good workout session your body starts producing lots of endorphines โ happy hormones ๐คฉ
:::
You feel proud and satisfied that youโve worked out and managed to make your muscles work = your mood is better ๐
Your heart is beating fast so brings lots of blood and oxygen to your body and to your brain = your mind and memory works better ๐ค
:::
Working out regularly makes your body chage, you lose weight, your body gets firm and looks better, your have more endorphines in your body, your mind works better = youโre happier ๐ค
ย
This is so simple!
Excercise does really improve happiness! ๐
:::
You should workout 20-40 min 3-4 times a week. I know you donโt feel like it, I know itโsย ย hard to start ๐. Believe me it is so hard for me to get up from a couch or desk andย workout, Iย almost never feel like it and need to force myself to do it but I ALWAYS feel soooo good afterwards โบ
ย
So, have you worked out today?ย ๐

Little things
There is this saying, one of my favourites, โNot everyday is good but there is something good in everydayโ and I so agree! ๐
:::
Even though this year has been tough to all of us I am more than sure that we could find something good in all of those days! Like the color of the sky, smell of flowers or somebody being nice to you! ๐
:::
Last 3 months have been very very tough for me, healthwise ๐ค, workwise ๐, many family issues ๐, some friends let me down ๐โฆbelieve me, it has not been easy ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ and in the end when I was thinking that the only positive issue this year (besides my covid test 2 months ago ๐) is my financial situation, I got half of my usual salary today ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ and even though itโs all good now and itย turned out to be a mistake by somebody in HR I wonโt get the missing half until January ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธโฆ so 2020 misery goes on ๐
:::
BUT! Even though itโs been so tough I managed to see some good in everyday, to get excited about something every week, to be happy despite all the problems and thatโs how positive mind works! ๐
:::
Iโve been admiring beautiful sunrises and sunsets ๐ (I am pretty sure that the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in Poland are in December), Iโve been veeeery creative and doing plenty DIY stuff that youโve seen/see in Smiley Advent Calendar ๐, Iโve been doing silly sketches and dances with my husband to make our moods better ๐คช, Iโve been admiring beautiful fruity smell of my favourite shower gel each day ๐, Iโve been more and more excited about upcoming Xmas creating beautiful Xmas decorations ๐, Iโve been grateful for every help that I got either from a stranger on a street or from a colleague at work ๐โฆ there is so much good around us we just need to notice it! ๐ค
Now tell me something good that happened to you today!
