Our Bodies Love to Move

I just returned from spending the evening with a good friend of mine I haven’t seen in several months.

It was wonderful to reconnect with her.  

And I noticed that over the past several months, she’s released a lot of weight from her body.

“What have you been doing?” I asked.

“Nothing, really,” she said.

“Have you been exercising?”  I pushed.

“No, I’ve just been really happy.  And busy,” she replied.

My friend has not been working out with weights or running on a treadmill or doing yoga or pilates or the elliptical machine at the gym.  But I have a feeling that she’s been deriving a lot of pleasure from moving her body, because she was happy.

I believe that there is a strong correlation between feelings of well-being and body weight.  Maybe the best calorie burner we have yet is the simple state of happiness!
