Key Number Two: Motion is Emotion

Regular and varied types of exercise creates a “rush” without the need for relying on the foods or drugs that can cause the chemical imbalance we spoke about in Key Number One. By exercising you increase your levels of serotonin, which improves your tolerance of stress and your ability to sleep. It also provides you with more energy and less prone to injury.

If you don’t exercise then you have simply developed the habit not doing it. It doesn’t mean you can’t, it only means you need to develop the habit. If you tell yourself you're not motivated then make it easy to become so… Put on your exercise gear in the morning, and don’t shower or change until you've exercised. Exercise whilst you watch TV, instead of eating. Take the stairs. Walk to work or to the shops. DO whatever it takes to encourage your body and your mind to get used to the new habit.

What are three things you can do to make exercise a priority in your life? How will doing these things benefit your life?
