Opt for an active lifestyle
Regular exercise is not only good for your physical health, or to lose a few extra pounds, maintain your desired weight, and build muscle mass, it is also essential to increase your happiness levels and reduce your anxiety and stress symptoms.
“If you are experiencing anxiety and stress, the average person can minimize that by exercising, practicing mindfulness-based movements such as yoga and Tai Chi,” says Dr. Cassiday.
According to a 2012 study done by David A. Raichlen, Adam D. Foster, Gregory L. Gerdeman, et. all, about the effects of running on anxiety, published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, certain exercises, such as running, can reduce your anxiety symptoms because your brain releases some chemicals called endorphins. As you probably already know, endorphins help relieve pain and make you feel happier and more relaxed.
