Eliminate "should, could, would, maybe, might, but, well, umm, if" along with other words and you will truly see changes in your character. Good luck everyone that actually sees this comment.

I personally believes that when you keep yourself busy with productive activities we surely feel good.

Anxiety has plagued me for a long time. I didn't know I wasn't feeling normal, my ruminating mind focused instead on the pain in various areas of my body. My thinking was irrational, believing I was a dead man walking I didn't want to go to a doctor. I collapsed at work after over a year of feeling like I was being choked, my lead hand and supervisor had called a driver to take me home because I couldn't breathe.

Eventually, with the motivation of a few TEDx talks and support from my wonderful family, I began to forge a new perception of life. Studying stoic philosophy and learning mindful meditation helps me identify many of the negative patterns in my thoughts. I work a physical job, my coworkers are familiar with the sight of my dancing. Life improved dramatically across the board for me in such a short time!

The physical pains that made me believe I was dying have all but vanished.
The sensation of being choked took a little while to fade, but plague me no longer. I've found a beautiful, compassionate girlfriend that makes every day brighter as well!

We all have stories, humans are fascinating - shaped and molded through so many experiences. Leon, thank you for sharing your story!

My son's 3rd grade teacher got all of the, "behavior problem" kids every year. His trick? They went outside & played a game &/or ran races a few times a day. My son learned from this teacher how to deal w/his life issues e.g.: rage, anxiety, improve concentration & better his mental health. He's 25 & uses exercise vs Rx to feel better. I'm so grateful for this teacher & people like you to help us understand how important movement is for the mind, body & soul!

Ever since this pandemic, I've become more stressed than I used to. I used to walk in the park every evening and that helped me a lot.

Physical fitness is an incredible medicine to cope with the hectic life we have nowadays. Physical activity changes your mind, makes you feel more confident which eventually improves your focus and increases positivity towards life.

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction . Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone . Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues . ⠀

"Thinking is the weapon of mass distraction"! "Feelings are Healings"!

My movement is boxing. It engages my whole body and mind and the level of mental and physical fitness needed for boxing puts you way out out of the danger zone for depression and anxiety. sometimes when I shaddowbox I can feel the force of life itself moving with me. Nothing gives me more pleasure than boxing. It is something I just love to do.

[sreemoyeeroygosthipaty]

I totally relate to "finding the movement that fills you with joy."
