‼️WARNING - This is not a sympathy seaking post - I just want to share with you the power of physical exercise on our mental health, particularly low self esteem, social isolation and negative thoughts about ourselves ‼️
Today I was feeling really down, very tearful and very tired, I didn’t sleep well last night as I was angry, don’t know why or with whom, I had a feeling of dread all day in the pit of my stomach and I didn’t want to be around anyone let alone put on my game face and take a class. The whole world was on my shoulders.
So here’s the thing, got my gear on, drove down to the hall, pulled up and my mood started to change, got in set up chatted with you all, music on and off we went. Turned out to be a fantastic class, we laughed, we sang, we got sweaty and we worked it!
I’m sharing this with you as I’m the most positive, cheerful, happy, upbeat person I know........BUT I have mental health too, whether it’s good or bad and today it was bad. I needed to be with people, I needed to know I was making a difference to someone and I am so grateful I have a support team around me even though you may not know that’s what you are. 💗
I need to remember that I can’t do everything but I can do something and that something counts for an awful lot for someone who maybe in need. This goes for us all!
Much love..... T xx
