Regular exercise has proven benefits of releasing endorphins, which have a calming effect on the brain and in your body. After exercising, many of the small things that drive you crazy can have little or no impact on you. And even the truly big things can be a little easier to deal with.
Get some exercise. If you don’t, you are missing out on an easy and effective way to become happier, less reactive and more peaceful, and you are putting yourself into an unfair, yet totally unnecessary, disadvantage when having to deal with the inevitable hassles and challenges of life.

Superseeds <3
1. Hemp
Hemp seeds are loaded with digestible, vegan protein: Just two tablespoons have 24% of your daily requirement (impressive, huh?). It’s a high-quality protein, too, with a balance of all the essential amino acids. They’re also loaded with fiber (yay, digestion!) and packed with other nutrients, such as omega-3 and omega-6, vitamin e, the b vitamins and folic acid.
2. Flax
Flax is rich in fiber (aids digestion and cardiovascular health) and omega-3 fatty acid (provides anti-inflammatory benefits, strengthens skin cells and is also great for cardiovascular health).
3. Chia
Contains 25% of your daily-recommended calcium. Omega 3, chia’s fiber, forms a gel that slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, binds it to toxins in the digestive system, and helps eliminate waste. Due to this high fiber content, chia seed absorbs ten times its weight in water, making it an excellent source of hydration. This also means a slower conversion of carbohydrates to sugars, resulting in greater stamina and endurance.
Stress reduction requires a profound, deep relaxation, which is not something that happens automatically. You have to actively relax.
