It's been a hard year. Many are struggling with sadness. When you're having a dark moment, the smallest step you take to feel better makes a big difference.
Life begins to feel shallow if we're not filling it with anything else except ourselves. Reach out to someone you love. Find something to be passionate about.

Exercise improves your physicality, yes. But also lowers anxiety and boosts your "feel good" hormones, too! We need that--especially during quarantine.
