How running has helped my overall happiness.

Happiness comes in many different forms. Some can be that quick hit that comes and goes without breaking stride; some can stay with for seconds, mins, hours, and sometimes days. What I get from running is a fresh start to a new day; every morning, I decide to make an effort.?

During my early morning jogs, I had a realization. Running was also a way to let my creativity run too. I feel?less stressed and frustrated when I run, and my mind becomes less confused. I?noticed my?concentration levels have improved, and I have?more confidence to?engage.?

For that 60mins of physical exertion, I don't think about?the?things I have yet to do or where I failed. Positivity completely takes over, and my creative side flexes its muscles.?

Fitness and happiness are contagious and can make a massive shift at home or your workplace. I encourage everyone to lace them up and take those first few steps - I can't guarantee you'll love it, but I bet that after a week of following a good plan, you'll see improvements across all areas of your life, from fitness to overall happiness and business.

So get out there and let yourself free; reward yourself. The power of a reward doesn't stop when we enter our adult?life.?Create a reward system for yourself. Track your process with an app, make a creative chart with stickers (something the kids can help build), and most importantly, place it visible so you'll see it often.

And remember, it's not a one-size-fits-all; maybe walking or biking moves the?needle for you. Whatever it is, JustRYZ and move. #JUSTRYZ #Challenge #Happiness
