Lesson Overview

34.14 – Why Moving Your Body Can Calm You Down: Movement is one of the most natural stress relievers available. Exercise releases endorphins, chemicals that boost mood and reduce pain. Whether it’s walking, dancing, or stretching, moving your body helps release tension stored in your muscles. Physical activity also clears your mind by focusing your attention on motion instead of worry. It doesn’t have to be intense; even light movement triggers your brain’s relaxation response. When you move regularly, your sleep improves, your emotions steady, and your energy increases. Over time, exercise rewires how your body handles stress, teaching it to recover faster. Movement can also be social—playing sports or walking with friends adds connection and laughter. It’s not about perfection or appearance; it’s about balance and self-care. Every step reminds your brain that you’re capable, strong, and in control of how you feel.
