50+ community Check-in January 18-21, 2021
Hello to everyone in the lovely 50+ community 
How you are doing today, how was your weekend?
Today I like to share this information with you.
The hormones that we release when we are angry — mainly cortisol and adrenaline — are similar to those produced when we are stressed to help us to escape from danger. When you exercise regularly, your body learns how to regulate your adrenaline and cortisol levels more effectively. Also, people who are physically fit have more optimum levels of endorphins; endorphins are hormones that make you feel good and therefore less likely to feel angry.

Thanks for the reminder of yet another way to attain balance and wellness!
@Sunshine4691
You are very welcome sunshine.
@amiablePeace77
I’m hanging in there. I feel like saying that I’m doing ok is going too far.
My weekend has been challenging but is turning out the way I wanted. That is an amazing thing all by itself.
@purpleTree4652
You must have been doing something right purpleTree, I hope you soon can say that you're good and not just hanging in, hugs.
AmiablePeace, today I am feeling kind of rotten. Last night my fiance' was all upset with me for things I did a year ago and longer. She says I am too locked into the things I do. I thought I was changing, I guess I am not.
@Offmytrack
Hugs Offmytrack, what you have done a year or longer ago is in the past. I hope you both can talk things out.
@amiablePeace77 thanks for that explanation on some of the benefits of keeping anger from getting totally out of control.
I am feeling better today and did a lot of resting over the weekend.
@soulsings
I am glad you feel better soul, a good rest can change so much!
@amiablePeace77 Thank you for the tips. I'm doing okay,, Just been super sore.
@Goldcherry2113
Ouch, are you sore from the dancing? Maybe a nice warm bath could help?
@amiablePeace77
i cannot seem to make myself exercise
@HappyDucky8
It's easy to skip exercise, we can find so many reasons not to do it> I can be so hard to get motivated particularly when you had a tough day but even the slightest movements can help. But when you’re done working out – hello endorphins. 
Btw are you still walking?
Here is a link to a self help guide, hope it helps https://www.7cups.com/how-to-get-motivated-to-exercise/
@amiablePeace77
i quit walking in September after an injury. It's finally healed enough but weather is too cold! I did happen to exercise today. A miracle! I did not feel good for very long afterwards. I guess I'll have to do it again
@HappyDucky8
Happy that's a great start! What kind of exercise have you done?
@amiablePeace77
just dumbbells at my desk during a conference call instead of multitasking on other work
@HappyDucky8
Wow. Today is my last year in the 50s. Hope I don't have to spend it all dealing with C19.
@BurdensDown
Hope C19 does not define your last year. I know it's tough right now for everyone but there are still so many good things in life.
