I wasn't in a great mood last night or this morning but it kind of turned around later in the day after I exercised for 30 min on the treadmill and took a nice shower afterward which both made me feel a lot better. Exercise really impacts my mood a lot. I never regret exercising. I may not feel up to it most of the time but after I do it my mood is really good and I feel less restless and anxious and I feel accomplished and better. I used to exercise mainly for weight loss but I mainly do it now for my mental health, I feel like I have to have it in my daily routine to really feel my best. When I'm angry/irritable or anxious it helps a lot too. I might get a membership to a gym in the winter. Cause the only things I have at home are the treadmill my apartment building has and my own weights and yoga mat. But I'd really like to start going to the gym again to use their cycling machines and steppers and ellipticals. An added benefit would be it'd give me a reason to get out of the house because I'd have to walk there to make use of my membership which I'd want to do regularly because it's expensive and I'd want to get the most use out of it I can.

I think the reason I wasn't in a great mood for two days was due to my breakup and I just laid in bed crying on and off and thinking about how my life sucks for most of yesterday
