Maximum Strength Non-Drowsy Formula

You’ve seen the ads on television the cold or flu medications that come in a non-drowsy formula.  Have you ever exercised and felt almost like you experienced a joy and natural high. You don’t have to be an exercise fanatic to get stress-busting endorphin boost. There’s no question that once you’re “in the zone,” you feel more powerful, more energetic and more positive than you ever knew was possible.

When endorphins kick into your body, your stress immediately diminishes.  It’s your body’s way of delivering natural pain relievers, even if that pain is emotional.  But exercise has more benefits.  It builds muscle tone and flexibility. The more you move, the more you’re capable of doing. That’s why it’s so important to gradually develop an exercise routine so that don’t damage muscles by trying to do too much too soon.

During exercise, there’s more oxygen getting to the brain and a higher level of serotonin  which improves your mood.  As the activity level increases, so does an incredible sense of well-being.

Taking your exercise to the next level is the way to keep you in endorphin delight. Once you experience it, you’ll want even more. Endorphins trigger an euphoria that are somewhat addictive in a good kind of way. And if you are exercising outdoors, you get another positive emotional lift from the sunshine and fresh air.

Try exercises that are rhythmic.  Running, walking, jumping rope, bicycling or swimming these tranquilizing activities influence the brain and keeps the endorphins flowing. Even after the activity is over, there is a lingering positive impact which continues for several hours afterward. Exercise in the morning and you’ll find your begin the day with a natural high.

Get Up – Get Moving – Get Relief

When your stress exercise is the last thing on your mind.  As a matter of fact, most of the time you feel like sitting in a corner and indulging in a pity party. If stress makes you feel like you’re all tied up in knots, in a way, you are. Your muscles get tense and your head throbs. You want to make the stress go away, but you feel like moving will only make it worse.

That’s not true! Exercise is an excellent, natural way to relieve the harmful effects of stress.  The worst way to deal with stress is to rely on food, drugs or alcohol. Stress eating is not only fattening but can grow into an eating disorder – particularly when stress is compounded by a depressed mood.

Alcohol is a depressant, so any effect it has on stress is temporary, leaving behind more stresses and problems. Drugs – whether prescription or non-prescription – deliver the same problem as alcohol. Substance abuse isn’t the cure for anything.

Stress eating tends to be an overload of things like chocolate, cookies,  ice cream or pizza as well as comfort foods like macaroni and cheese. Once you start, it’s like the spoon has a mind of its own and just won’t quit. It’s better to close the refrigerator door and open the front door.

Take a walk or run if you enjoy that. If neither appeals to you, do some other soothing motion-based activity like sweeping the patio, washing the car or cleaning the windows. Choose an activity that requires motion, but very little concentration.

You want to free your mind, not clutter it. Better still, maybe your mind will wander into something positive. If you start thinking about work, stop and refocus on your activity.  Create a mantra or something you repeat to yourself over and over again to prevent that stress storm from entering your mind

Pilates is more advanced than Yoga and it’s a more vigorous activity that takes a high level of concentration to complete each move. If you’re focused on your Pilates movements, you don’t have time to think about stressful things.

Dust off your bicycle and find a safe place to ride. Look for quiet streets or parks with bike paths. Pedaling around is good exercise and lets you appreciate your surroundings as you travel.

Dance to your own music. Put on some music with a peppy beat and dance around your living room. Or put on something classical and let your inner ballerina come out.  If those aren’t for you, turn to a rocker beat and have fun banging your head like you did when you were a teenager.

No one is looking, so be yourself. You’ll get exercise and probably end up laughing, which is also a physically and emotionally healthy way to beat stress!

So get up- get moving- get relief.  Do it today because you only have now, the past is the past and tomorrow only leads to tomorrow.
