Want to reduce the anxiety, depression and stress in your life? Get moving! A new study has found that just 10 minutes of moderate activity each day leads to a multitude of mental health benefits, including improved self confidence, distraction form negative thought patterns, improved coping skills, better self-esteem, and an overall feeling of increased well-being!

It makes sense when you cosider that our bodies were made to move, not sit at a desk or in front of the television for hours! So the next time you’re feeling pent up or restless, why not take a short walk, deliver a message to a co-worker in person instead of by email, or take the stairs instead of the elevator? You just may find your whole outlook takes on a positive and healthy new spin!
