Here's why this matters! People with any one chronic condition are at a higher risk of developing depressive or anxiety symptoms. Now tack on multiple chronic conditions (multimorbidity) and imagine the prevalence increase.
Researchers found light activity to be associated with lower rates of depressive symptoms, and moderate to vigorous activity to be associated with the reduced rates of anxiety symptoms, within this very population.

It's official- in a systematic review of 1,039 studies exercise was shown to be more effective than counseling or medication for depression, anxiety and distress across a wide range of populations.
Don't get me wrong, counseling and medication are still important and often critical pieces of the puzzle.
But that movement tho 💪💪🏼💪💪🏾

Listen to your body! Why is this so hard for me? As I got going today, I noticed some shoulder pain creeping in. After about 15 minutes my shoulder was screaming at me to stop. Rest.
I listened. It felt like s**t to stop. I noticed the feelings. Shame? Embarrassment? Self-judement? Yes, yes, yes.
I had to remind myself the truth is no one here cares if I stop to rest. And if they do, we'll, that's on them. I'm the one judging myself. Putting pressure on myself. As we often do in life. "Keep pushing through the bulls**t!" Is a motto I often hear in my clients.
Whether physical pain or emotional pain, some of us humans have gotten ourselves into this nasty habit of pushing through rather than slowing down and taking care of ourselves. And guess what? It always comes back to bite us in the ass. You can only push those feelings down for so long before they explode. Same goes for physical pain.
So, here I am. Reminding myself and everyone to listen to your body. It's okay to pause. To rest. To notice. It might feel uncomfortable. After all, we've been hardwired over time to "push through". But doing the hard thing sometimes means pausing, resting and taking care. ❤️

Hi, I’m Kate, founder of Soul Strength VT. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Health Education Specialist, and Certified Personal Trainer/Group Exercise Instructor. I specialize in the crossover between mental and physical health.
I became interested in this “crossover” work shortly after graduating from college. On a whim, I decided to take up jogging. After a few days, I noticed how good I felt- not only in my body, but in my head as well. Exercise led to better eating habits, which led to better sleep, and on and on. I loved how these habits provided me with a sense of overall well being, on top of boosting my self esteem and confidence. Additionally, I found fitness to be a perfect outlet for mindfulness practice, and therefore, it became my “therapy”. Not to mention the benefits to my physical health.
I loved learning about the connections between mental, physical and social health. Having already started my career in community mental health, I thought, why not focus on “all” instead of focusing on “one”? I decided to pursue two graduate degrees- 1 in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine, and the other in Health Sciences-as well as training in exercise science, allowing me to better understand the biopsychosocial connection, and work with people to achieve greater health and well being.
To summarize, I find it to be amazing that in some cases, we can transform our mental health simply by engaging in healthy behaviors. And likewise, I’m amazed at the healing power of mindfulness and other counseling practices when it comes to our physical health needs.
