Exercise works wonders
Exercise works wonders
If you're grieving, if you're feeling like your self-esteem is shot, start exercising if you aren't already.
Toward the end of the relationship I was really slacking in the exercise department. I wasn't even going to martial arts at the time because of some money issues (that are now resolved).
Now I'm back at martial arts, I bought a bike for myself (and a helmet for the moms out there), and I'm going to the gym four times a week. I'm walking/running - building up to just running again - and I'm also lifting weights.
All of these things are not only making me physically stronger and getting me into kick-ass shape again, but they're really sharpening me mentally and emotionally.
It's really hard to think about the ex when I'm running and just trying to keep my breathing where it should be. And it's hard to think about him when I'm bench pressing and focusing on form and not dropping the bar, or when I'm doing leg curls and all I can think about is that the muscle is sore, but I need to do another 10 reps.
And then when I get done, I have those fun endorphins going through me, and then I'm REALLY not thinking about him.
So yeah, if you aren't exercising now, please try and start. Even if it's just 20 minutes of walking a day.
And if you are exercising, GOOD FOR YOU! I bet you can attest to how much it can really help.
Absolutely!
