(english is my second language)

I have multiple causes contributing to a terrible health/mind health. Found the cure in an unexpected way. Three months ago, I started walking 30mn ago just to move a bit. Decided to up the steps, and I went from 2k to 15/20k daily divided in two daily walks. Felt good immediatly (happy chemicals), persisted, now it feels even better and it lasts long. I used to suffer non stop mental & physical torture, these are all gone.

And thats just the tip of the iceberg. I also lost weight and I multiply new healthy habits, slowly but surely.

I used to rely on ADHD meds for peace of mind&body. In fact I was living for the meds and they were a lie, by that I mean 1/2 hours of feeling (too: mistakes) good followed by hours long anxiety comedown or repeated redoses.

Motion is lotion.

Yes. We're designed that way.
