Instructions for "Move the Morning Blues": When you get up each morning, immediately move your body, some suggestions are:
Many of us wake in the morning and are immediately inundated with thoughts of all we have to do today, this week, this month, this year... Agh! If we don't do something to counter this, we can walk through the day feeling burdened and blue. It can be difficult to tackle this mentally, because the mind is already so busy there doesn't seem to be room for anything else! This is where the body can come to the rescue. Moving the body in the morning gives you energy for the day, and helps you shift perspective. Exercise releases endorphins, which make you feel happier and brighter, and more able to tackle your to-do list in a positive way. The trick, like most things that are good for you, is to do them even if you don't feel like it! You'll thank yourself later... "Now, I'm no scientist, but I know what endorphins are. They're tiny little magical elves that swim through your blood stream and tell funny jokes to each other. When they reach your brain, you hear what they're saying and that boosts your health and happiness. "Knock Knock... Who's There?.. Little endorphin... Little endorphin who?... Little Endorphin Annie." And then the endorphins laugh and then you laugh. See? Its Science."
