There are a lot of negative external factors surrounding each of us these days that are out of our control and can easily mentally break us. What we can control is our body—what we do to it and what we put in it. When you take back that control, you don’t just feel more grounded; you start releasing endorphins that relieve stress, lift mood, improve sleep, boost self-esteem, and help keep anxiety and depression at bay. Your body is the one thing you can still steer. Steer it well.
