Therapy For Your Psyche & Physique
Mental and Physical Fitness

You can't have one without the other, it as simple as that. If you aren't mentally on top your body will suffer in one way or other. It could be minor things like drinking a bit too much or not doing any exercise. Or, major things like reckless destructive behavior. Vice versa applies as well, If your body temporary or permanently prevent you from doing things you use to do or causing you pain it will affect you mentally, Some times you have to adapt to a new set of circumstances, during other occasions you have to be patient and work on things gradually. We are all different, even if share the present we all have a different past that affects our current emotions, thinking, and behavior. What will help you with whatever mental hardship  you going through is to exercise. I use the term exercise as un umbrella term for moving. It could be everything from going for a stroll in park, running ten k, water-aerobics, gardening to a hardcore strength training workout. Remember because you have reached a certain age it doesn't usually exclude you to do particular things.                    

                Exercise and you will worry less and become happier, guaranteed!
Did you know that exercise helps to grow new brain cells? Yes, that's right, exercise stimulates the hippocampus area of the brain to give birth to new brain cells. Another reason you should to some form of exercise is that research has found it reduces stress and anxiety. Activity slows down, putting a brake on the brain's systems which creates stress. The important is to do something you enjoy or be able to put up with before you noticed the benefits. You might want to do it together with another person or maybe even a group. This to be more accountable. Some people don't like to do exercise period. I always tell those to find something they hate the least and stick with it, and you will harvest the benefits from it. You will learn to like it! Here, as in many other places in life, patience is a virtue.

I believe to have a content life there are many parts that needs to be included like the following:
1. A Content mind which you don't add regrets ​​​to.
2. Some form of physical activity
​3. Social life; at least couple of good friends you can discuss deeper issues with.
​4. A romantic partner​ (for most individuals it's needed to balance the personality) 
5. A hobby, something that takes your mind off daily tasks.
​6. Some kind of creative activity like; painting, gardening, carpentry, building or renovate, writing, playing an instrument.
7. Work, a work you do the best you can do at. Even if it's temporary and boring. 
​8. Some kind of spirituality or religion 
9. Study & Reading, learn more, be curious!
