Feel Better

Me and one of my boys went for our run tonight. I can't believe how far he's come.. From a wheezy lad with asthma to some who can now run with a little care...he still has asthma, but his lungs are stronger, his breathing is better and he doesn't get the anxiety that his breathlessness is an asthma attack about to happen... He now recognises it as he's just our if puff from running..

Take time out... While this isn't the best place for everyone.. Taking 15 minutes to just sit and do nothing can act as reset and revitalise you.. Be and the dog just sat for a bit listening to the birds and the breeze in the trees..

Heat can often make exercise and activities feel harder.. This is because heat is another stress our body has to deal with. I've did my run after 10pm tonight. It's cooled down a lot and it's still pretty light out.

Reducing potential stressors can make every thing start to feel easier. What would be the easiest stress for you to remove or reduce?
