Exercise isn’t a cure for all, but it helps. Moving your body releases mood-boosting chemicals, serotonin, dopamine, and other endorphins which reduce pain sensitivity. Even a 10-minute walk can shift your mindset. Over time, regular activity improves sleep, energy, and overall well-being. Start small, your body (and brain) will thank you.
