We all know how vital it is to lead an active life, but just in case you need more convincing, moving also helps our soulful health too. In addition to the brain benefits I mentioned yesterday, we also all know how much better we feel when we are more active. This is simply because our activity helps release good hormones and neurotransmitters in our bodies.
Neurotransmitters like serotonin, our happy hormone, is released which elevates our moods so we can lift our eyes to God and trust Him more. This will move our hearts to work with God as He continues to renew our minds, help us control our emotions and aligns our will with His Perfect Will for our lives. Another neurotransmitter that is released is called dopamine, that’s our reward hormone, which helps us feel motivated so that we engage with life more, doing the things that, not only bless us, but also bless others. And then we also release endorphins which help mitigate pain, so it helps with any aches we may be experiencing.
My Friends, again we all know how good being active is for our health and how it keeps everything flowing in and out of us so that we can be healthier and healthier. I’m preaching to myself more than anyone else, but please make a plan to add all sorts of activity into your life, then reap the amazing benefits to your whole self: spirit, soul, and of course, body!
