Yesterday consisted of me being in a crappy mood all day and not knowing what to do about it. I am feeling rather uncomfortable with certain things in my life. I was walking around feeling like I was looking at the world through a fog. It was not conducive to having a productive day. On my way home I weighed my options about how to unwind once I got home. I considered a glass of wine, but then I remembered what I friend said.
"Food is the most overused anxiety drug. Exercise is the most underused anti-depressant."
My mood has been in a bad place for at least two weeks. Things did seem to be improving. My day was ending and all I wanted was to go home, crawl in bed and forget that there are things in the world that needed to be cared about. I decided against doing that. Since I'm more than squishy, I behoove me to commit to working out more. Plus knowing that I'm not in a good place mentally, it can only get better if I get up and move around. I chose the walk over the glass of wine. It helped, rendering me in a way better mood today.
I need to start living by two models: 1. exercise. 2. get sleep.
As for number 2, don't mind if I do.
