Run: 1.91mi, trail consisted of mainly farmers tracks, views of roe deer and the smell of a nearby saw mill in operation. Just a short run to clear my mind before having an evening with family. #stressrelief #running #AnxietyRelief
The perfect morning for @parkrunUK. Running reduces anxiety and stress, allows time for thoughts. #loveparkrun is a great way to meet new people, unwind and try something different. Remember to photograph and tag your local run today! #stressrelief #AnxietyRelief #exercise

Exercise, including running, let's you get into a rhythm. That rhythmic flow of a repeating action helps relax the mind, providing a pathway to relieving stress and anxiety. #running #exercise #stressrelief #AnxietyRelief
Run: 3.88mi in East Yorkshire. Howardian Hills on the horizon. An opportunity to practice mindfulness on the move, if that's possible? I paid close attention to my breathing for almost 2 miles and felt heavily relaxed. #stressrelief #AnxietyRelief #running

A lesson from today has shown that although I'm preparing my mind and body to try and relieve #stress, life still has a way of creating unfavourable situations. The road isn't always going to be easy, but it is how we deal with it that matters. Also show #respect and #compassion.
Appropriate footwear makes exercise more enjoyable. I have two pairs of running trainers, including the @NewBalanceUK 610 v5 Trail. Durable, hard wearing and very comfortable for my wide feet. What do you run in? #newbalance #running #exercise #trainers runrepeat.com/en-gb/new-bala…
"Some things are worth doing, no matter how badly they're done" variation on a quote by G K Chesterton. Remember this when trying to reduce anxiety; there may never be the perfect time to start running. Give it a go, no matter how badly you think you may do it. #AnxietyRelief
