Dr. Melissa Green: Harnessing Physical Activity to Achieve Emotional Wellness | Doing Well #45

We’ve all heard how keeping active helps keep your endorphins high. Anytime someone has said they’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed, another person says to go outside or go for a walk. They’re not just used as distractions but as a balance of stimulants to relax you.

On today’s show, Dr. Melissa Green, Licensed Psychologist, joins Lu to show us how Harnessing Physical Activity can help you Achieve Emotional Wellness. Dr. Green is a licensed clinical psychologist and registered yoga teacher with 25 years of experience in the mental health field. She is a native of the state of Georgia in the US. However, she considers herself a “global citizen” who is eager to explore and connect with people worldwide. Traveling to 30 countries has helped her learn about other people’s perspectives on life. Her global experiences have shaped her personal beliefs and professional practices as a psychologist. 

In this insightful episode, Lu and Dr. Green explore the intricate relationship between emotional wellness and our overall well-being. The discussion begins by unraveling how emotional wellness significantly influences various aspects of our lives, including mental health and interpersonal connections.
