GABA!
October 24, 2024
Keiko!
For sometime I’ve noticed a change to my mood after the physical labor needed to move the sheep, fences, water and so on. Just going to a place like planet fitness would probably work but I’m not motivated that way.
Motivation. It started when I got Keiko, my service animal. I got my exercise because he needed to go out. I discovered my attitude toward life also changed. The exercise helped me find a new mental balance.
There are good chemicals in our brain that increases with vigorous exercise. Today I learned that one of these chemicals called GABA helps with resetting my mood. So exercise isn’t only about helping the physical body!
