Stressful Times
By: Jeff    on 10/13/2008
How’s your motivation today? Times are pretty tough right now, with the US economy in shambles, and the world markets following suit. It may seem unrelated, but this takes a tremendous toll on your body.

When your stress level is high, you get sick more often, and are at greater risk for health issues. And, very commonly… we don’t want to exercise. It happens to me too. I get so engrossed in an important project that I feel like exercise can wait. Finishing the work will remove the stress, right?

It rarely seems to work out that way. I’ve found that the best approach is to make a firm appointment with yourself to exercise. Even when you’re extremely busy and stressed, keep that appointment. Exercise will help ease the stress and when you get back to work you’ll feel more energized with a clearer mind that’s ready to work.

So get out there and exercise today. Make that appointment with your healthier lifestyle at least 3-4 days per week and be certain to keep that appointment.
