I forgot how much a work out can do to help with my mood. I have been a lot more sensitive to sounds and triggers this last week, and I've been feeling so much better today, after going to the gym. How's everyone else approaching this, any tips for motivating myself to go to the gym when the weather sucks and you just want to stay at home?
Exercise helps me too. Unfortunately, I don’t have tips on getting my butt to the gym in winter cause it’s a struggle.
The only thing that works for me is moving my body in a way that feels fun, so I will dance around and then stretch for a workout. I know it’s not the same as hitting the gym, but it makes my mood better for sure.
Ooh I love doing that! We always put on Loop Daddy while we're cooking dinner and I usually dance and hop around more than I cook. I totally agree, this always lifts my mood!
I just checked it out, Marc Rebillet? Catchy as fuck. I can see jamming out to this! For me, it's 90s hiphop and pop, usually. Some 1980s, I will allow 2000s in there, too. Never fails to cheer me up.
Yes, Marc Rebillet, specifically the early live streams are fun if you don't mind the swear words! But yeah, early 80s are great for jammig out too, I love mindless, erratic dancing!
Swear words make everything better :D
