I Exercised for 30 Days to Fix My Mental Health... Did it work?! | Morgan Yates 2023

[@MorganYatesVids]

Unrelated, but my trip to Switzerland this fall just launched this morning! ✈ Come travel with me: bit.ly/3IbOJYG

[@EdithTerrazas-le6vm]

We all need a Jazzel in our lives

[@Neon27Green]

Maybe think about what your past workouts were vs now? Consistently strength training will show results faster then mostly cardio does ie the treadmill and walks. Keep going maybe switch it up

[@bekkkabby]

I feel the same about going outside lol I forget how much I like it until I actually go outside! and it is so nice that Jezzel is so encouraging, it's really helpful to have a supportive partner who wants to help you achieve your goals!

[@MorganYatesVids]

Same like I'm lazy and love the indoors LOL. She is the best!! :')

[@Jesswalla]

Sounds like you need more than just exercise or no alcohol. Maybe look into heavy metal detoxes, checking your minerals, and for antibodies to Epstein Barre or Chlamydophila pneumonie (not std). Any of these things can cause mysterious anxiety, in my experience

[@Andyyoureastar]

Love this and love you♥️♥️ I’m on a similar journey of ups and downs, trying to find balance and self-compassion

[@MorganYatesVids]

Good luck to you!!! :)

[@magperez4494]

You got this mama!!! ❤🎉 You are at the right place in your life!!! Don’t give up!!! We are all struggling with you to get back to our slimmer size!! You look amazing 😻 and sexy!!!😻🔥🔥🔥🔥💫💫🙏🏽 New horizons in 2023!!!💫💫☄️☄️💥

[@tori3951]

Great Video Morgan! Way to be persistent! You have encouraged me… I stretched while watching this video & then off to workout I go! Jezzel is so supportive and such a sweetheart. Do she got a brother LOL? ( only slightly kidding) xoxo from Chicago

[@marissah8921]

I'm so proud of you for being transparent and sharing your process!! FWIW exercise hasn't really clicked for me until I got on the right antidepressants. Also, am obviously not a doctor/etc BUT maybe look into PMDD and see if it resonates at all? Or PCOS? I'm just spitballing things I've researched into for myself in around the same age as you, in that sometimes symptoms pop up as we age, etc.

[@shelbifavre]

I've been struggling with such intense anxiety lately, too, and this is so relatable. It's really hard to motivate myself at all (not just workouts)

[@MorganYatesVids]

I feel that :( Honestly feeling motivated is still rare for me, but I just count down from 5 and get up and do things now vs waiting to be in the mood because it just never happens. It's helped me build discipline and now I feel like I'm doing more/have my life more together even though I still don't feel motivated... but at least I don't feel as discouraged from not doing the things I want to do

[@Jenny-Ahlin]

You are doing awesome!!!! So hard to admit you’re struggling and even harder to do something about it. Also loveeeee the support you have with Jezzel I literally felt my heart melt when you said she turned on the tv and treadmill for you! Little things like that can honestly make such a big difference

[@rachellovely3081]

Why did Jezzel getting the gym ready for you make me cry

[@athenazouzounis5521]

This was so relatable and motivating to watch!! It’s a struggle to workout when your brain is going a million miles an hour. Proud of you!

[@CharJones9828]

I feel really similarly right now. Everything is so hard and I’m so weighed down by depression and anxiety. I started going back to the gym around the same time and also felt discouraged when it wasn’t “fixing” me. I’ve decided that I’ve done a lot of external work and found balance, so it’s time for me to see a doctor. Thank you for sharing your journey and thank you for being honest. It makes everything that I’m going through feel more relatable and somehow it makes it feel manageable when I see others having similar experiences.

[@danielleguzman1329]

Where did you get your Apple Watch band from?! I am always trying to find good ones to workout in!! :))

[@allisonvictoria3790]

i was taking prozac for years as it did help me, but honestly it made my anxiety worse. everything seemed like such a big task and i would give up so easily. i have found exercise and staying busy have been the most helpful since being off it

[@JillianNTalley]

Thanks for sharing. On a similar journey ( back pain) and also not seeing the results like I used to 😭 but it’s a journey so we will get there.

[@VeggiesbyEos]

The other night I let something crappy that came up (that only took an hour) ruin my entire night. While I'm sad similar things happen to you, I'm glad I'm not alone

[@mariannerady1137]

Congrats on getting through! Great commitment even though there were hard patches. Thanks for sharing this with us, your authenticity helps to make such a challenge accessable

[@MorganYatesVids]

Thank you so much! That makes me happy. :)

[@Patriciameloc]

Congratulations Morgan! I know you said you didn't feel a lot of improvements on your anxiety, specially when starting meds, they take a while to kick in and you feel getting worse before improving, but be sure that you having the ability to take care of yourself (and having support from Jezzel) will be of great value for your mental health. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for over 10 years now and just now I'm gattering the energy to try and workout consistently. You already have that in you, take advantage of that!

[@natalieransom8687]

Having a supportive partner helps more than you realize🥹 Also trying to get back in the swing of workouts and walks. You got this girl!💜

[@LaughALittle4]

I loved how real this video was!!

[@MorganYatesVids]

Thank you!

[@leanneandrysco6812]

I needed this! I feel the same way, my mental health is getting the better of me and after having a baby my fitness is non-existent. I used to be so strong and fit and now I’m not. I think I might try this challenge in March. Even if it doesn’t fix all of my anxiety, maybe it’ll spark me to start working out again and feeling better about my body. Thank you!

[@kevzter2]

Morgan my G!!!! Why don’t you just put this much energy into going to a psychiatrist!!!! And getting on medication!!!! I’m schizophrenic and I’ve been on medication for years!!!! Doctors are really here to help!!!! Well the right doctor is here to help!!!! Find a doctor (psychiatrist) who your comfortable with and live your best life girl!!!! 😅😅💪🏽💪🏽

[@kevzter2]

You’d be surprised how other aspects of your life seem to align when your mental health is taken care of!!!!

[@MorganYatesVids]

In the video I talk about going to a psychiatrist for this and getting on meds and how they're affecting me! I've been seeing a psychiatrist since 2015 lol

[@cjayne]

Your dedication to constantly evolving and taking care of yourself is so inspiring, Morgan! 💪🏼 Thank you for being real and keep up the amazing work👏🏼✨

[@MorganYatesVids]

I appreciate it, thank you!!

[@CarolineProkos]

you are the queen of opposite action!! rooting for you

[@MorganYatesVids]

Trying lol thank you!!

[@JoseSanchez-fp3mp]

Hello, yes exercising makes you feel better, and even having a walk outside it makes you feel more relaxed because you let the air come to you, and you see the blue sky, and even listening the birds listening thank you so much for this video have a nice week.

[@truecollar9059]

Thank you for making this video, and for being so honest with everything ❤❤❤

[@aimee-hyj]

girl you don't need to be positive all the time! you're human, it's not natural for us to always be like that

[@Kayla-qt4ef]

You killed the boxing session! Hope your start feeling better and better.

[@mimislife1120]

your next exercise video can you include tall your daily meals? thanks for the content i starting my journey again today

[@zamiragar17]

Thank you for sharing! Anxiety can be extremely exhausting and I don’t think people realize how hard it is to do day to day activities. Year 21’- now were incredibly hard (and some days still are) for me but it does get better! We learn triggers, we learn coping strategies, we give ourselves grace, and we keep going

[@MorganYatesVids]

Amen

[@DoeRaeMe]

I tried soooo hard to do this in January but I got sick, then my kids got sick, and then I got sick again. Felt like the universe was against 😢

[@DoeRaeMe]

*me

[@Andyyoureastar]

You can always start again and keep starting again. I struggle with all or nothing mindset with being active. Today I’m struggling to go outside but I will now♥️♥️

[@MorganYatesVids]

I've definitely had those times where life gets in the way & it feels hard to re-start :( I'm nowhere near perfect there but would just encourage you to try again & not see taking a break as defeat!

[@Stephe09]

I feel this! I got a sinus infection & 2 weeks later the flu, I feel like I'm starting all over again with fitness

[@laurenscott9783]

I love when you do these!! I've been giving myself so many excuses...just need to do it for me

[@MorganYatesVids]

For me the motivation feeling never just comes lol I have to do these challenges to build the discipline!

[@camelliaghotbzadeh2576]

Yesss Morgan!! So proud of you, I also struggle with anxiety and consistent exercise has been a game-changer in helping me heal and stay calm. I always feel better after taking that time for myself and focusing on what my body can do, channeling out everything else 😊

[@MorganYatesVids]

Yessss I love to hear that!!!

[@vinaypanday4494]

Milli you admited my mother reger you

[@JoJo.231]

I love how honest and real you are !!

[@erikam6373]

I always love your fitness videos! I'm proud of you & this inspired me to get back at my own workouts!

[@MorganYatesVids]

Yay!!!

[@Jesswalla]

Does your anxiety get worse with heat? I got so anxious in the bath today!

[@MorganYatesVids]

It doesn't!

[@vinaypanday4494]

I think comedy live long

[@jessicarach9452]

Also your boxing skills on its own is so impressive! You look great as always!

[@MorganYatesVids]

Thank you! :)

[@smeezhxx]

I always love how real you are ❤

[@Aj23427]

This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey!

[@MorganYatesVids]

Thank you for watching!

[@JG.Artistry]

OMG!! This video felt like fate! I am almost at the two month mark of my recovery from surgery, it has been really difficult mentally. This video is super inspiring and I can’t wait to be able to walk again lol! Thank you for your vulnerability ❤️

[@katelynnies9218]

I'd love to see you try different kinds of strength workouts like crossfit, olympic weightlifting, power lifting, etc if you're looking for some content that will also support you in keeping up your movement routines!

[@Parker-Green]

This is awesome, thanks for sharing it with us! Makes me more motivated to get back into better fitness habits!

[@laurenmw9629]

A good low impact workout for knee pain is swimming

[@Michelangelo-m1o]

When I exercise, I do strength training and practice karate

[@ClairesUniverse]

Your videos are so refreshing!!! I love the chill vibes and great editing!

[@quirky813]

So proud that you pushed through!

[@MorganYatesVids]

Thank you!!

[@jessicarach9452]

Do you think your anxiety had anything to do with leading up to your birthday? Curious because I just had that happen to me

[@MorganYatesVids]

I don't think so because it didn't improve after lol and also I don't get anxious about getting older!

[@bethanynelson6257]

SO proud of you Morgan. This time of year is always tough on my mental health & this was very important for me right now

[@MorganYatesVids]

I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
