The divorce workout - coping through movement
Check out my article I wrote last month about channeling negative emotions of divorce through movement. I am actually writing a series on this topic. So many of us go through divorce but we don't really talk about it. I want to build awareness so that people adopt healthier coping strategies, rather than hitting the bottle or resorting to emotional eating.
Here I talk about using exercise as a tool to put yourself in the present moment. It is when when we are in the present moment that we aren't sad about the past and we aren't worried about the future. What better way to be in the present moment that makes us healthier, fitter and stronger!!!

Look at things from a perspective of health and you will make better choices
If you look at things from a perspective of health rather than a perspective of 'will this make me fat?' You will always make better choices. If you choose foods that are good for you because you want to be healthy then as time goes on you will continually make better choices and as a result your body will follow. You will lose weight, your skin will look better, you will have more energy. If you are an athlete, you will perform better and have better recovery.
Eat for health and not for looks. That means eat as much fruit and vegetables as you can get your hands on. Eat whole foods. Stay away from processed carbs and processed meats with nitrates and drink plenty of water.
