Did you know that staying active won’t just make you look better, it will make you feel better too? When we stay active in our lives we feel a sense of purpose and desire, and this leads to us making better choices in everything from what to eat to what to watch on television. It’s like a cycle that you can get into, but not one of those downward spiraling ones you hear about. No, the stay active cycle will make you feel good which will have you making better decisions. And the better decisions you make, the more you are going to feel good. See?
Find something that you love doing and throw yourself into it. Do you love dancing, or horseback riding, or yoga? Even if you’ve never tried something, do you think you could learn to love it? What’s important here is to make an active lifestyle one that doesn’t feel like a chore. You want to make activity an integral part of your entire life. This is when it will really make a difference. Many people stop going to the gym simply because it becomes a chore that just isn’t 
worth it to them. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. When you find an activity that you love doing, it won’t be a chore. Instead, it might just be an awakening.
As you are getting more active, don’t forget to give yourself time to decompress. We all need to do this at certain times. Taking up meditation or having a massage might be exactly what you need to bring things into better focus and control. Doing so will give you added vigor to pursue a healthy and active lifestyle.
