The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | 4 Essential Habits to Reducing Stress: Exercise

Ep #4: 4 Essential Habits to Reducing Stress: Exercise

September 29, 2021

This is the final installment of my four-part series, in which I share the four essential elements to reducing stress: my HOME Work. And the E stands for exercise. And while this may sound like an obvious part of a healthy lifestyle, fully understanding the benefits will help you make this a daily habit that will improve your life and lower your stress.

We think of exercise as something we do to lose weight, stay in shape, and tone our muscles. And those are all great reasons. But exercise also works wonders for our mental health. And particularly if you’re an overthinker, getting out of your head and into some physical activity is an amazing way to start releasing your spinning thoughts.

Tune in this week to discover how to make exercise a part of your daily routine. I’m sharing why this doesn’t have to be in the form of a physically intense sport or lifting weights in the gym. It can look however you want it to, and I’m giving you some perspective so you can start finding the thing that gets you moving in a way that reduces your stress and brings you a little more joy every day.
