You may think, “What will they come up with next?” But, considering the challenging and uncertain times we live in, this one hits the mark:
It’s National Stress Øut Week! That’s right. This week, The Anxiety Disorders Association of America invites every one of us who struggles with stress and anxiety to take a time out and learn more about ways to manage these “gremlins”.
This year, ADAA’s focus is on the benefits of physical activity in reducing stress. We all know that exercise is good for us, but according to ADAA, studies suggest “a 10-minute walk may be just as good as a 45-minute workout” and “even five minutes of aerobic exercise can stimulate anti-anxiety effects.”
In fact, exercise is a part of every treatment program recommended by ADAA President and CEO Jerilyn Ross, MA, LICSW. “It’s one of the first things I tell patients,” she says. “People may feel powerless in terms of home life, finances, or politics, but they’re in control when they exercise.”
And, then let’s celebrate!
