Exercise

Even if you're short on time, exercise produces mood-boosting hormones that can help you get through a difficult day. You carve out valuable time for yourself away from your desk or the demands of others by prioritizing some form of activity in your day.

Regular exercise is one of the most effective methods to calm your body and mind. Plus, exercising will improve your mood. However, in order for it to pay off, you must do it frequently. Work up to 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderately strenuous activity, such as brisk walks, or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise, such as swimming laps, running, or participating in other sports. Focus on making realistic fitness goals so you don't give up. Above all, remember that any exercise is better than none at all.
