Exercising pumps up your brain’s feel-good neurotransmitters, helping you feel more relaxed after a round of physical activity. Neurotransmitters are produced by your brain to work as messenger molecules carrying signals between the brain and other cells of the body, including the muscles, influencing your mood. By boosting feel-good neurotransmitters through exercise, you begin decreasing your anxiety and at the same time, relieve muscle tension.
A good routine includes any kind of physical activity such as walking, jogging, running, swimming, hiking, and weight lifting. You can do any activity that keeps your body moving for at least 2.5 hours to 5 hours per week. You may start with few short sessions, until you can make exercising a regular habit. Having a family member or a friend join you gives an added bonus of connecting with loved ones and make you feel supported as you try to manage your anxiety.
