Monday Morning Motivators to Slay Your Creative Dragons
By CJ Lyons and Margie Lawson
KEEP ON MOVING! from CJ
The science world this week has been filled with great reasons for you to keep moving!!
Did you know that exercise stimulates the growth of new brain cells? Yep, especially the brain cells found in the hippocampus which is the part of the brain that translates memory and experience. A vital area for us writers!!
And, exercise has been shown to stimulate the production of the chemicals needed to fight depression, block pain, and prevent inflammation. That twenty minute walk around the block to clear your head is better than a fistful of Prozac, Codeine or aspirin!!
Furthermore, regular exercise helps to prevent stress not only in your mind but also on your face. Yep, no more botox, healthy eating and regular exercise can do more to erase those wrinkles!
So, what are you waiting for? Get moving!
