Move
Not only can exercise help your body stay healthy and limber, it floods your brain with endorphins — chemicals that enhance your mood. Find a physical activity that gets your heart pumping. Swimming, jogging, biking, or walking will work. Shoot for at least 150 minutes of exercise each week.
Groove
Studies show that music therapy can have a positive impact on your mood. Listening to or playing tunes gives your brain a boost of dopamine — the brain chemical that helps you feel pleasure. A good song can ease anxiety, depression, and pain, and help you sleep better.
Sleep
Regular, quality sleep is key for soothing your mind and easing some physical MS symptoms. Naps can boost your mood, too. But be sure they don’t keep you from getting your nighttime ZZZs. If your MS makes sleep a struggle, talk to your doctor about ways to help you get the shut-eye you need.
