Experience The AMAZING Mind Shift That Fitness Can Provide
Is your life plagued with negative thoughts and emotions that overwhelm you? Do you often feel drained and fatigued, sad or depressed? These feelings can limit you and hold you back from reaching your full potential in life. Sounds like you need an emotional lift!
Fitness Can Change The Way You Think
Fitness and exercise can improve your physical health, relieve stress, trim your waistline, even add years to your life. But that’s not what motivates most people to stay active. Fit people work at fitness because it makes them happy!
Fit people have an enormous sense of well-being. They feel more energetic, sleep better at night and feel more relaxed and positive about themselves and their lives. Fit people are more confident about their appearance, themselves and their abilities. They smile more, make more friends, stand taller and are ready to face new challenges.
Additional Physical, Mental And Emotional Benefits Of Fitness
According to the Mayo Clinic, fitness has a variety of psychological benefits for relieving the symptoms and effects of depression including:
Self Confidence - Completing your workout gives you a sense of accomplishment. Meeting goals or challenges, regardless of how small, can boost your self-confidence at a time when you need it most. The physical results of your hard work can also make you feel better about your appearance, improving your self-esteem.
Provides Healthy Distraction - Exercise helps take your mind off of your problems. When you’re depressed, it's too easy to dwell on the bad things which interfere with your ability to solve problems and cope. Dwelling on the negatives can also make your depression more severe and last longer. Exercise shifts the focus away from unpleasant thoughts to something more pleasant, or at least more challenging.
Promotes Social Interaction - Sadness, depression and anxiety often lead to isolation, hiding from the world and your problems. Exercise provides a chance to meet and socialize with other people in the gym or studio, even if it's just exchanging a simple greeting.
Promotes Healthy Coping - Doing something positive like exercising is a healthy coping strategy. Trying to forget your problems by drinking alcohol, dwelling on your problems, or simply hoping your depression and anxiety will go away are not healthy coping methods.
Reduces Stress - Fitness and exercise combat the adverse effects of stress and anxiety. In a statement by the American Psychological Association, “Physically active people have lower rates of anxiety and depression than sedentary people...exercise gives the body a way of dealing with stress before it becomes destructive.”
Higher Self-Esteem - Maintaining fitness is an investment in your mind, body, and soul. When it becomes a habit, it can boost your sense of self-worth and make you feel strong and powerful. You’ll feel better about your appearance and, by meeting even small exercise goals, you’ll feel a sense of achievement.
Makes You Resilient - Fit people face mental and emotional challenges in life head on. And they cope in healthy ways, instead of resorting to alcohol, drugs, or other negative behaviors that ultimately only make your symptoms worse.
