Joyful Movement
Very often when the new year is about to start or has already begun, a person renews his/her vows to eat better, exercise or exercise more, and/or be kinder to him/herself.
If the addition of exercising is new to your schedule or you are bored with the program you have been following, try one or more of the activities listed below. You might find one or more of them enjoyable, which would help you stick with an exercise program.
Exercise or joyful movement, as you probably know, chases away "the blues," clears your mind, helps trim your body, increases your blood circulation, lowers high blood pressure, and strengthens your muscles. It also adds to your happiness and increases self-appreciation because you have done something good for yourself!
The addition of sun sign beneficial foods is also a plus for you and your body or temple. Your body needs good fuel to run on!
And just in case you don't know, it takes approximately three weeks to become comfortable with a new routine so please, be patient with yourself.
