Exercise

Regular exercise can help you to feel better but it’s important not to push yourself too hard. You could go for a walk each day, or if you are able and have the chance, try cycling or swimming. When you exercise, your body produces mood-improving chemicals which can help to ease aches and pains. Regular exercise keeps your body topped up with higher levels of these 'good mood' chemicals. Even simple stretches may help you to feel better.
