Jogging and exercise to help all and any depression (regardless of severity). Though, it cuts both ways - physical exercises really work force, but where do these forces, to begin thereby exercise?
When the soul is empty and cold and dark outside and minus 20 degrees, incredibly difficult to get out from under the blanket, get up on the icy floor, put on the running shoes and run. Very easy to promise yourself to do exercises every day, it's harder to do. If even in normal condition is hardly one of the hundreds dared to this «feat», then what can we say about the man, located in a depression.
But the fact is that any exercise increases the production of endorphins, which leads to increased mood. According to many psychiatrists - regular Jogging as effective as psychotherapy or antidepressants. Moreover, the improvement comes not only as a result of changes in biochemical processes - with regular exercises gradually change attitude towards yourself, and growing self-confidence.
A bit of personal experience... During the depression - running was the only way to emerge from the depression, at least for some time. Immediately reminded of the gray light of the morning, like each other like drops of rain, the complete absence of physical and mental strength... Often happened that a hard evening, the mood and the persistent ringing of the alarm were useless and Jogging disrupted. But if you managed to get through total indifference and steel himself, while running with every step energies, the head gradually became clean and clear. After Jogging depressive feeling significantly decreased, although this effect was rather short - depression come back a couple of hours. But nevertheless it is better to do something than to do nothing.
Very successful can be a method of combining running or exercise with deprivation of sleep. Usually, during the sleep deprivation, the period, when there are power and diminish signs of depression, comes early in the morning. So it is logical to use this time for Jogging or charging. On the other hand, at the time of deprivation, it is desirable to do something active to stay awake (thereby reducing the effect of methodology), and running in this case can be a good remedy against sleep.
Running long distances. The one who experienced a deep depression, knows that in this time of constant companions become negative thoughts. Try to get rid of them - lesson more than useless thoughts will fall through any action, not giving focus and removes his last strength. But there is one good way is to run on long distances. For someone it can be a real panacea. No need to be a marathoner - with the right attitude, a person can run for quite a long time. Most importantly, fully concentrate on the race and just watch. Sensations may be very similar feelings during meditation, as if the whole world is moving, and you're standing. No need to strain, just be, present in the running, feel that happens to your body, breath. It should be noted that after a while the feeling limit, appear relevant thoughts: "... can't...". But this is not true - if not stop, and continue to run further, just watching your senses, this barrier disappears opens a second breath, re-emerging forces. Such a beg - a kind of deception for the mind, at this time, he simply has no time to habitual thoughts, mind busy just another.
Yes, in the morning so desperately do not want to get up. Inside sticky fear. You lie, you think in the final seconds when now tingle time already brought forward alarm clock and we will have to flee. Escape to the world. There are no forces. No energy to get.
But if you can't get up - get on the floor.
