Are any of you struggling with all the things going on in the WORLD right now? It’s very easy to let the heaviness get you down. Anxiety and depression is a common thing right now, but there are some things we can do to help alleviate it. Living in survival mode for days on end is NOT A GOOD THING!
We all have to find ways to adapt, and one of those things is finding new ways in which we release stress. A lot of us, me included, are used to going to some kind of class: a yoga class, the gym, water aerobics, or walking with a friend. And now we can’t.
Although we can still exercise from home, or walk by ourselves, it’s not the same and takes a lot of motivation. However, as I mentioned in a previous post, WE HAVE GOT TO KEEP MOVING!
Movement can be VERY effective for counteracting anxiety and depression. It doesn’t’ have to be major movement. I know a lot of you out there are very limited on what you can and can’t do as far as movement goes. NO WORRIES. There are things you can do, even while sitting in a chair.
I just uploaded a short video to my YouTube station with some stretches and exercises to get your whole body moving. Don’t expect to sweat with this workout, those classes are coming, but do expect to feel better.
If you want to skip to the relaxation portion of the video, it is marked in the description.
How will this chair yoga class help with anxiety and depression?
- It will get your mind off whatever you’re stressing about
- Movement and stretching are proven to help with your sense of wellbeing.
- I show you a few techniques to help relieve stiffness in your neck and tension headaches.
- Best of all, I guide you through a 10 minute guided meditation to help you relax every part of your body.
Movement is so important and vital not only for our physical health but for our emotional health as well. Know that you are NOT alone in this. We are all in this together.
This will take effort on your part. None can move your body for you. Push through the dread, the feelings of being overwhelmed, the hopelessness, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
We will get through this. Be easy on yourself, take care of yourself. Reach out and share this with anyone who you think could benefit from this.
Check out my other video tutorials, and don’t forget to love and take care of your FEET!
Until next time my friends.
Sending love your way,
