Working out is amazing. For me, it’s a way to not think about consuming stressors such as school. It distracts me, gets me moving, my brain chemicals swirling, and my blood flowing. I feel way more productive after I’ve worked out probably because I tend to be more awake. Plus, it’s just routine. I’ve progressed through another day being at least a tad productive.
