Therapy helps people talk through trauma, understand it, and give painful memories meaning. But neuroscience is now showing that trauma doesn’t live only in thoughts—it lives in the nervous system and the body.

Research reveals that regular physical movement can change how the brain stores and reacts to traumatic memories. Exercise increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein essential for neural plasticity. This allows the brain to build new, safer pathways while weakening fear-based circuits linked to trauma.

Movement also calms the amygdala, the brain’s threat detector, while strengthening the prefrontal cortex—the area responsible for emotional regulation and rational control. Over time, this shift makes traumatic memories less intrusive and less emotionally overwhelming.

Studies consistently show that aerobic exercise like walking, running, or cycling can reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress. Exercise lowers cortisol, releases endorphins, and restores a sense of internal safety that trauma disrupts.

This doesn’t mean movement replaces therapy. Psychology shows the most powerful healing happens when both work together. Talking helps you understand trauma. Moving helps your brain and body relearn that the danger has passed.

For the sixth time in her career, Dot McMahan qualified for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.

At the Houston Marathon, the 49-year-old finished 13th overall in 2:36:24, 36 seconds faster than the women’s qualifying standard. McMahan ran her first U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials back in 2008, and has competed in every one since then. She could likely be the only athlete in the 2028 field to run the event for a sixth time.

Love is often confused with attraction, desire, or physical closeness.
But those things are easy and temporary.

Real love asks for more than pleasure.
It asks for effort when things are uncomfortable.
For patience when emotions are heavy.
For loyalty when walking away would be easier.

Love is choosing the same person again and again,
not because it feels good every moment,
but because commitment matters more than convenience.

S*x can happen without depth.
Love cannot.

Love shows itself in sacrifice, consistency, forgiveness,
and the quiet decision to stay present
when life becomes difficult.

That is what separates connection from intimacy
and desire from true love. 🌿🤍
