Did you know that exercise is highly correlated with the production of new brain cells resulting in improved learning and memory?  Brain research has also revealed a correlation between exercise and a decrease in depression.

Additionally, neuroscience has validated that children learn better when they engage in daily physical activity.

The field of Positive Psychology, otherwise known as the study of happiness, is relatively new compared to the study of depression and anxiety.  Studies show that we can change our thinking and the way our brain processes information.  It all starts with developing an awareness of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and a desire to become happier. Some of the benefits of choosing thoughts and behaviors that support a healthy mind are: clearer thinking, better decision making, being more focused, sleeping better, feeling calmer, being able to learn better, having the ability to handle the challenges of life easier and of course feeling happier.
