One thing that is for sure in life is that it is a constantly changing thing!
Sometimes we are ready for the things that are happening because they are choices we have made and we had a part of the decision making process on how they have been played out. Sometimes we have no control such as this pandemic, an illness or injury, a change in job situation, or a loss. Other times one door is closing and the next one is either opening or around the corner and we just need some head space to figure out the transition from A to B!
How we handle any transition in life will be different every time depending on what else is going on. Some things are in our control and some are not so finding a coping mechanism is so important for our mental and physical well being.
One way to help with almost any transition in life is physical activity!
Sticking to your fitness routine as best as possible not only keeps your body mobile and strong, it helps keep your mental health in a better place. Sometimes that 30-60 minutes gives your brain a break from everything going on and allows you to focus just on you!
“Personal experience has shown that during those rough patches in life, keeping to my fitness routine has given me the escape for a short period of time to let go, refresh and to keep going with whatever else is going on.”
-Coach MJ
