Check your breathing Zhiyah...you could be holding your breath while walking or

going up the steps. Breathe smooth and deeply when moving your muscles.

Push away any negative thoughts you may have in your mind. You will be okay. xx

I have found that during times of high anxiety it can be difficult to exercise, but if I push a little through it evens itself out. I know its tough, but anxiety can fool us into thinking that we are not able to do something. There are many times that I take a long walk (5 miles or more) and think I cant do it in the beginning and anxiety says go back ,but at the end I feel invigorated and also I find that my mind gets cleared during the walk of everything that is holding me back. Of course always make sure you are healthy enough to go for a walk before doing it, but if its just an uneasy feeling try to push through it.
