LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Have you been in a funk lately? Finding it hard to get up and get going? Well, there are several things you can do to break that pattern. And at least one of them is completely free of charge.
“It’s time to rise and shine” can be more than just a phrase get a positive start to your day. It’s also some really good advice.
All kinds of activities help you get a crucial component of good mental and physical health. From taking a walk with your dog, going fishing, or even just taking your kids out to the park.
A little dose of daily sunshine can make all the difference sometimes, especially for someone who struggles with mental health. Calming blue skies and a nice breeze can do wonders.

It can also help you feel like you did something in the day, rather than just sitting at home. Even that little push can create a trickle-down effect to help you start feeling better.
And when you live in a place as beautiful as Southwest Louisiana, there’s really no excuse to get out and get a little free exercise.
