On the face of it, moving your body should be a really good New Year's happiness goal.
Most research shows that exercise makes us feel good.
In fact,
one study showed that a half hour of cardio a day could be as effective
for reducing symptoms of depression as taking an antidepressant medication.
So I should applaud the fact about half of us intend to exercise more in the New Year.
The problem is, I worry, we're kind of not doing it right.
For many of us, hitting the gym isn't about enjoying ourselves or feeling better.
It's about looking better.
It's about not really liking our bodies and trying to get them to look like the ones we see on Instagram.
But could there be a more compassionate, more happiness inducing way to get our bodies moving?
And one that could help us achieve a bigger well-being boost than we think?
Of course there is.
So if you're ready to learn how to be happier through movement, then join me, Dr.
Laurie Santos, for this final New Year episode of The Happiness Lab.
You know, I think that there was a time that I did really enjoy movement.
This is another one of my heroes, Jessamyn Stanley.
I used to love just like running around in the yard and like run a lap and ask my mom to time me just so that I can know how fast I am or
like I would just try to turn cartwheels just because I can.
