We're all about being Mighty and the Glo Up mindset and style here at Glo Up Fitness. As a Glo Getter, you don't have to already possess this lifestyle - it is a treasure that can be developed within you. Its a spiritual journey!
We're not perfect but we are always evolving. In evolving, we are shedding the things that hold us back. We are ridding the elements that hurt us - we are becoming better than our former selves in some positive form or fashion. In many cases, depression and anxiety can be the culprits behind the elements we seek to evolve beyond. I want to share a few ways to cope and rid yourself of depression and anxiety - as well as develop your inner Mighty.
First of all, Depression can't fuck wit you. You're better than that. I believe in all of mankind - I believe we all have the mighty ability to draw out the positivity in our lives. Here are some methods to OVERCOME the negatives:
1. EXERCISE!!! The cornerstone of the Glo Up Fitness brand is exercise! Not only is it great for your physical health but it releases natural endorphins within the body that makes you feel Mighty - you'll literally be high off life. Exercise is also known to improve a person's focus when it comes to tasks.
2. Relax - make some time to read, do some stretches, listen to your favorite music and reflect on the things that make you happy. For me, meditation/prayer and breathing exercises are my go to before I go to sleep at night and when I wake every morning. I also practice gratitude daily, thanking the Most High for blessing me to wake up and draw breathe again.
3. Check yourself when it comes to DIET. Don't let your "comfort foods" get your body out of sync. Make sure you are consuming a balanced diet, it makes all the difference for your energy levels day in and day out. You ever got that full 8 hours of sleep and still woke up tired? lol I can guarantee your eating habits have an huge effect on that.
4. Support is a big factor. Seek out a friend who you have a strong relationship with who has your best interests at heart. For some, they don't have family support or a friend they can trust, leaving them feeling lonely and in a dark place. I would suggest seeking a therapist to be able to express themselves to someone and receive feedback. There are sites to vent on such as muttr.com and online therapy sessions available via blahtherapy.com
5. Take matters into your own hands - Get yourself organized, set new goals and plan them out, and find a purpose bigger than yourself. There's great healing involved with feeling accomplished and taking control of the things you can in your life. Finding a purpose bigger than your self gives added meaning to life.
Overcoming depression and anxiety is no small task and there is no quick, overnight solution to your problems. Be patient with yourself and incorporate these noted tips into your daily life in some form or fashion and things will start to look up.
Ask yourself out loud, "What would life look like if I overcome depression, anxiety, and the negatives?"
This is Glo Up Fitness and we are glad to be of service to the Glo Getters of the world!
