I learned another reason why exercising and feeling better turn into laughing more and feeling more like yourself. You can never take yourself seriously and it's a great attitude for feeling fitter and better about yourself. Here goes my dorky, goofy story of the morning.
As many of my closest friends know, I work from home 3 days out of the week. It's a good job and pays well and in my major so triple score. However, one of the downsides of my current setup at home is that I work at the kitchen table. The next room over is our living room which is currently in multiple states of disarray as it goes through a major renovation including the new tiling on our fireplace (becoming a gas insert. blah blah boring things.) This morning, the guy came to work on the tiles. And as usual, I was sitting at the kitchen table typing away at my technical reports. Also as usual, I was plugged into my headphones blasting my Little Big Town and other country music playlist. And of course, I was just happening to groove out at the table when the tile guy walks through the front door, right in the line of sight of my dancing. As he walked away laughing, I realized I didn't care. I found myself laughing at myself. I'm a happy, optimistic person who knows I feel good and am not afraid to show it.
Now, some may say this is just who I am. That regardless of my fitness, I would still be the goof I am. And that is true. However, it also stands to reason that my running and feeling fitter contributes to this carefree nature. Quite frankly, I love it.
