As your probably aware from previous post i no longer suffer from anxuety, and will do all i can to ensure you dont either!!

I remembered today that jogging or laughing uses the rising levels of adreneline during in a panic attack and stops them. Yes the first time u randomly start joggin up the road ull feel a touch silly, but it will help xx

I don't feel silly when just jogging/walking/riding my bike...all of which I do regularly for anxiety management...and I try to laugh as much as possible...

...but I try not to do them at the same time...then I would feel silly and probably look 'kukoo' as I am running up the road in a fit of giggles! turn


You are right though, exercise and laughter do alter the neurotranmitters in the brain, causing a euphoric state, and reducing anxiety. cool

Anytime I feel anxious my first instinct is to move around or go for a walk. I run regularly and find that I feel way more at ease once I have completed my run anxious or not.
