Running Happy

Running one step at a time to reduce stress for a balanced, healthy and happy lifestyle. Sharing my journey, for those that may feel the same.

Run: 1.91mi, trail consisted of mainly farmers tracks, views of roe deer and the smell of a nearby saw mill in operation. Just a short run to clear my mind before having an evening with family.

The perfect morning for @parkrunUK. Running reduces anxiety and stress, allows time for thoughts. #loveparkrun is a great way to meet new people, unwind and try something different.

Remember to photograph and tag your local run today!

Exercise, including running, let's you get into a rhythm. That rhythmic flow of a repeating action helps relax the mind, providing a pathway to relieving stress and anxiety.

A lesson from today has shown that although I'm preparing my mind and body to try and relieve #stress, life still has a way of creating unfavourable situations. The road isn't always going to be easy, but it is how we deal with it that matters. Also show #respect and #compassion.

Run: 3.88mi in East Yorkshire. Howardian Hills on the horizon.
An opportunity to practice mindfulness on the move, if that's possible? I paid close attention to my breathing for almost 2 miles and felt heavily relaxed.

Appropriate footwear makes exercise more enjoyable. I have two pairs of running trainers, including the @NewBalanceUK 610 v5 Trail. Durable, hard wearing and very comfortable for my wide feet. What do you run in?

"Some things are worth doing, no matter how badly they're done" variation on a quote by G K Chesterton.

Remember this when trying to reduce anxiety; there may never be the perfect time to start running. Give it a go, no matter how badly you think you may do it.

Who uses running to spend time practising #Mindfulness? Spend just 10 minutes of your time running to experience the present, and add some focus, calm and clarity to your outlook on life.

The reason I renamed my journey from “Running Away Stress” to “Running With Thoughts”. See stress as positive.

Breathing efficiently helps reduce stress and anxiety. As of this morning, I am trying @DrWeil's breathing routine. It takes 30 seconds. https://t.co/SlnPomHwbZ
