Staying active is one of the simplest but not easiest things to do. Being active with exercise is a must for both our physical and mental health. You do not need machines or a health club. Get up off the couch and take a walk. Make a date with a friend, your dog, or just yourself to go out into the fresh air and walk. Start with 20 minutes the first week. The following weeks increase your time and distance.Take time to notice your surroundings, how the weather is changing the palate of the landscape. Become aware of your mood before and after your walk. Be sure to drink lots of water after your walk to stay hydrated. If it is a rainy day do some physical task in the house to get you up and moving. Easy benefits you will find are a more peaceful state of mind, better sleep, and perhaps even some weight loss. If you are feeling emotionally paralized from doing this seek medical help. Movement is part of who we are. We do not want to cut ourselves off from this. Depression, anxiety and other conditions can rob us of our joy in life. Contemporary Care offers individualized care for diagnosing and treating patients. Each patient is special.
