Holiday Stresses
Monday, December 14th, 2009 | Uncategorized | No Comments
I was going through my folder of archived information about mind/body/spirit approaches to better living and I came across this 11/18/09 piece in the health section of the New York Times. The take-away from the article was that more and more research is confirming the link between exercise and the ability to withstand the effects of stress – not just in the body, but also the mind and the emotions. The more we exercise, the more our bodies and brains are able to resist the physical and psychological effects of stress. During this holiday and end-of-the-year season, there are some unavoidable stressors like over commitment, financial pressures, family strains and even days on end of gloomy weather. This article reminds me that getting moving is not only about weight loss or maintenance, but about my ability to cope – mind, body, and soul.
