Exercise

Yes we all need to do it. But it doesn't mean we need to go to the gym or have a personal trainer. One of the simplest things you can do is to walk every day. I don't just mean around the house or at work. I mean setting aside time where you walk either outside or on a treadmill for a set period of time.

Start with 15 minutes of continuous walking. Something that will help is to listen to some soothing music or if you are in the country side, listen to nature. If you're walking on the treadmill, you can watch TV, but I would recommend that you not watch the news. Put positive things into your head while you're walking, not the total negative that you see on the TV news.

Increase your amount of time by 5 minutes every 3 days until you are up to 1 hour of continuous walking. Push yourself a little with some inclines, but go at it gradually. Don't feel like you have to run a marathon your first day out!
