Flow movement for mental health and mindful movement benefits.
π§π½ββ
Mental health, anxiety and the benefits of the right type of exercise.
πππ
In my experience as a Personal Trainer for 25 years, I have found that exercise is one of the greatest sources of relief for stress, anxiety and depressive moods.
It can sometimes be forgotten that exercise is a great way to deal with mental health issues. I personally have many clients who exercise with me purely for the benefit of aiding in healing, improving depression and eliviating anxiety. Flow movements are amazing for grounding yourself and regaining that connection within yourself, with your body to mind and removing those stress factors we carry around with us.
π§π½ββWhat are flow movements?
Flow movements, which include practices like yoga, pilates or tai chi, are rhythmic, continuous, and often meditative movements. Flow movements help us achieve a positve mind-body connection and anxiety relief through movement.
Incorporating flow pracitces even if it's just for a few mintues a day can contribute to a more positve, stable and relaxed mental state.
π§π½ββHow can flow movements help with my anxiety and mental health?
1. Engagement in the Present: Flow movements encourage us to focus on the present moment, which helps shift attention away from anxious thoughts. This type of "mindful movement" is grounding and can reduce the tendency to overthink.
2. Activation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System: Flow activities involve deep, controlled breathing and slow, intentional movements that help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. This "rest and digest" mode counters the "fight or flight" response associated with anxiety.
3. Endorphin Release: Flow movements release endorphins, the brainβs natural "feel-good" chemicals, which can help elevate mood and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.
4. Improved Body Awareness: Practicing flow movements increases awareness of bodily sensations, which can help people better recognize signs of tension or stress. This body-mind connection is helpful for managing anxious responses.
5. Enhanced Cognitive Function: Flow states can increase cognitive flexibility, enhance problem-solving abilities, and improve focus and mental clarity, which can help with managing stress and anxiety.
6. Building Confidence and Resilience: Completing a flow sequence can foster a sense of accomplishment and resilience, which boosts self-esteem and provides a mental buffer against stress.

High intensity workouts as a stress reliever and mood changer are not for everyone. I find that flow movements do have a much longer effect on relieving the symptoms of anixety, stress and depression and other mental health related issues.
