Willingness into Action

COIN LOSS: The United States ended production of the penny on Wednesday. For more than 230 years, the penny has circulated through American piggy banks and cash registers. But rising production costs – each penny now costs nearly 4 cents to make – and shifts in consumer behavior have made it impractical to keep producing them.

Exercise outperforms medication in fighting depression, says massive new study

A groundbreaking study of 128,119 people has revealed something remarkable, exercise is more effective at reducing symptoms of depression than medication alone. Researchers found that physical activity, even in small amounts, significantly boosts mood, lowers anxiety, and improves overall mental well-being.

The study compared people who exercised regularly with those treated using antidepressant drugs. The results were clear: movement triggers powerful changes in the brain that medication can’t fully replicate. Exercise increases blood flow, enhances neuroplasticity, and releases endorphins and dopamine, chemicals that naturally lift mood and strengthen emotional resilience.

What’s most encouraging is that the type or intensity of exercise didn’t matter much. Walking, running, cycling, dancing, or strength training all helped. The key was consistency, moving your body regularly, even for 20 minutes a day, created lasting benefits.

While antidepressants can still be life-changing for many, this study shows that combining or even replacing medication with physical activity could transform how we treat depression.

Your body isn’t just made to move, it’s wired to heal through movement. Every step, stretch, or sprint is your brain’s natural antidepressant.

Persistence, consistency, and gratitude - that's the secret. It really is that simple 😉

Persistence will get you in the door. Consistency will give you a seat at the table. But gratitude? That’s what makes it all worthwhile. That’s what turns reaching goals into enough. You can chase every dream on the map, but if you don’t slow down long enough to be thankful for what you already have, you’ll always feel empty, no matter how full your hands get. Gratitude isn’t passive. It’s power. It shifts the whole frequency of your life. So keep showing up. Keep doing the work. But don’t forget to look around. You already have more than you once prayed for.
