Want a free dopamine & serotonin bump? Try moving your body for 30mins. Whether it's walking, dancing in your lounge room or singing energetically in your car, doing some housework ( 😞 ) or stretching, it's just about moving your body & getting your heart rate up. I often do different types of things depending on whether I'm working out for my body or my mental health. If its for my mental health I think about where my stress is being held in my body (for me it's usually my belly or chest) & I'll stop my exercise & put my hand on that spot & take a few slow deep breaths, noticing how that part my feel different each time. I'll also stop a few times & lift my arms up & out & breathe, taking note of where I am & how grateful I am to be there. I find adding these few intentional things into my Moving My Body Time, helps my brain & body regulate easier.

Here is a snippet of a TedTalk about the benefits of moving your body, on your brain.

This is one of my favourite pics of Tilly the Therapy Dog. When she little and got into mischief, she would put her head under the bed & think I couldn't see her.
