Battling Anxiety

June 20th, 2018

When my infant is inconsolable, a walk outside almost instantly pacifies him. My energetic toddler craves the comforting monotony of swinging outdoors. As a young kid, I was often encouraged to “run around the house 10x” when my mom noticed me getting antsy.

We instinctually know that movement and fresh air is calming. Why do we stop using it as an antidote to stress and anxiety when we become adults?
