Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.
Erica Jong

"It looks more and more like the positive stress of exercise prepares cells and structures and pathways within the brain so that they're more equipped to handle stress in other forms.... The stress-reducing changes wrought by exercise do not happen overnight.... You may not feel a magical reduction of stress after your first jog, if you haven't been exercising. But the molecular biochemical changes will begin... and eventually they become profound."
