Mental health awareness week started yesterday, however I don’t feel I’m being too late with this post as I’ve been taking my social media break to recharge my batteries!
In the current world where everything happens at a 100 miles per hour it’s impossible to avoid stress and it doesn’t matter if it is rational or irrational. We are surrounded by the situations which could trigger us in many different ways, however I’ve got good news for us all! Is not only our responsibility to work on our stress levels and the way we are triggered and responding to it but we also have the power to change how we respond to life’s difficulties the current world is throwing at us! We just need to realise that we have that power, and we CAN do this!
One of the ways which definitely helps you to become ‘unstressable’ is to exercise!
Aerial arts and dance provide an excellent opportunity for you to be here in the moment and practice your mindfulness! Unless you want to get totally tangled in aerial silks, trip over your own feet while dancing or hang in the hoop while having no idea what you’re supposed to do 😉 and that’s only one of the many benefits! Bringing down your level of the cortisol in your blood (that pesky stress hormone), but on the contrary getting those endorphins levels up which bring a smile to our faces. Gaining that sense of the achievement with every session and building your confidence up! Not even mentioning being a part of such a friendly community where support and cheerleading is on the top of the list in our studio.
I’ve never seen exercise as just a body workout! We are holistic creatures and whatever we do in our lives it influences us in holistic way! So remember that you have the power to improve and change your mental health and do not hesitate to use that power.
And of course the world looks so much better while hanging upside down or dancing 😉.
