Sacramento business man, Frank Yan wonders how many of us here in Sacramento ever need any type of motivation to get moving? Ask yourself we should only have to workout for 15 minutes. When our time expires we never know that we just may want to keep continuing.

So when we are not feeling motivated at all to workout, Frank Yan says we should trick ourselves into exercising. So let's Put on our dri-fit work out clothes before and go to the gym. It's simple, when we are fully suited up in our workout clothing it puts us in the right frame of mind to get out the door and and head for the gym or perhaps go for a nice brisk run. We should make a deals with ourselves that we should have to exercise for at least 15 minutes. Start with a timer and set it, and if we begin that we still want to quit when it goes off, we can. At least this is a start. In most case most of us will typically discover that we want to continue exercising, however there will be days that we don’t, that’s okay also. Putting our workouts on our calendar is similar to any other important appointment we make. Make them non-negotiable, and schedule other events around it.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Incresing Your Serotonin

Are you down in the dumps? Frank Yan says do not reach for those delicious box of cookies. Unhealthy eating can make your bad mood even worse. Take a walk outside instead. This is what Frank does, especially a walk around River Walk in Sacramento along the Sacramento River.

If you are concerned about your weight or daily diet, throw away that seeking solace in a pint of chocolate ice cream, it will and can make you feel even worse. While attending Sacramento State, Frank Yan researched that it showed for women who continually worried about their body figure, pigged out when we’re in a bad mood. This type of behavior can drag them down even further.

According to research, nutritious foods such as walnuts, salmon, and whole grains can really help increase our serotonin levels. Serotonin is the feel good hormone that benefits our sense of well-being and moods. Bingeing on junk food that are not good for us can lower our serotonin production and, with it, our moods.

Instead of seeking a better mood with eating junk food, get moving instead with a work out or walk. A 10-minute burst of exercise can give you a noticeable lift.
