After getting home from work s feeling stressed yesterday I did quite a bit of exercise. The effects of exercise eased the stress quite a bit. I went into my office and listened to some music loudly too, then went back outside and exercised some more. I did lots of skipping and some strength training.
The effects of exercising when stressed have really shown me a way forwards. I didn’t get hot or warm when I got to bed and I slept soundly and only woke up briefly before getting up at 5:40am. I didn’t wake up lots with stress or heat. I’m still a little anxious but I can deal with that. I’m also trying some CBT techniques to work out my thought patterns.
Exercise makes me feel good, but I fear becoming addicted! I guess feeling good is addictive. Anyway it’s good to be healthy in mind and body. It’s good to try to be rational in ones thinking too and if exercise helps control stress then I’ll keep going with it. I’ll keep up with Qigong and meditation too as they help me to slow my thinking down a bit, although fast thinking has its uses!
