Get Moving to Feel Better

She sets about her work vigorously, her arms are strong for her tasks... She is clothed with strength and dignity’ she can laugh at the days tom come.
"Proverbs 31:17,25"

God designed you with an amazing ability to release stress that's fun, free and available the moment you are. Exercise!
While you may be tempted to consider this: physical activity rev up your body's capacity to let go of tension, clears your mind, strengthens your body, and gives you more energy. So take advantage of this built-in stress reliever. As you do, you'll feel better in body and spirit as the benefits help you experience a simpler life.

Elle was exhausted and stressed. She cared for her infant and two-year-old child as well as worked part-time as a writer. When her neighbor suggested they walk together, she didn't think she had time, but decided to try it anyway. The pair agreed to meet after dinner on Tuesdays and Thursdays and walk a mile-long loop. As the weeks and months passed, they added days and distance. Elle discovered that by walking regularly she felt better. Elle discovered that by walking regularly she felt better. She had more energy and she felt calmer. Her schedule hadn't changed, but her attitude had and it made a difference.

Ready to de-stress? Talk a walk. As you step out, marvel at God's intricate design: feet that support you, knees that bend just right, bones that give you structure, muscles that strengthen you. Take long, smooth steps, and allow your arms to swing gently and naturally. Your heart quickens to match the tempo of your stride, and your lungs inflate fully to bring your body, so that as you move physically, you move mentally, too.
Tensions slip away. You feel lighter, more energized. A sense of well being comes over you. A walk refreshes in so many ways.
The quest for simplicity is as natural and easy as moving your body. So discover what you love to do-and do it. Allow God's natural stress reducer to bring good health and serenity into our life.

Final Thought
Exercise is a God-given gift that helps you let go of stress and experience a fresh surge of energy.
