March Madness

Have you ever been really frustrated - at someone, your job, or even yourself? Maybe it is not frustration, maybe it is just "mad" at someone. Depending on how close you are to that person may determine how much that feeling seems to be pent up inside of you. The longer it is "in" you the more damage it can do. It may stay there for hours, days, weeks, or maybe months (hopefully not years). But it can do some damage to your health.

As I was thinking about what this "month" is known for in our culture, it made me think of "March Madness." This time of year when teams are "upset" and go home unhappy. I was involved in championship game in high school, we lost in the State finals by 2 points and ruined an undefeated season. That was 25 years ago this month and I still think about it.

With that said, the madness that can come through situations in life can cause us to think about it for quite some time. One thing that can help alleviate those pent up feelings is some exercise. Simple "marching" around the block, on a treadmill, around your worksite, around a store, around the hallways in your worksite, and the list continues. If you have stairs, utilize those, as well.

Are you having some "madness" issues? Then don't let it be pent up, but go "marching" and let the body naturally take care of some of those negative feelings.

Go "marching" for the health of it!
