One Easy Way to Feel Better & Boost Your Confidence
Exercise can obviously benefit your physical fitness. But did you know that finding movement you enjoy can improve your spiritual, relational and emotional fitness, too?
Studies show that movement has clear mental health benefits that affect everything from your productivity and relationships at work to your home life and the way you relate to your kids. Here are some ways weaving in more movement can improve your health, relationships and so much more...
You’ll Feel Better About Yourself. Research has shown that along with boosting metabolism, exercise boosts confidence! Improved self-esteem is something others notice. In study after study, scientists have found a significant connection between how we perceive ourselves and the strength and health of our relationships with others.
You’ll Have More Energy. Science hasn’t figured out a way to make more time in the day (sorry), but it has figured out that the more energetic you are, the better use you’ll make of the time you have. If you ever feel as though you’re too tired to attend a social event or not motivated enough to leave the house on the weekend, it could be because you’re out of shape.
You’ll Relieve Stress. Exercise has long been proven to be a great stress reducer. So when the demands of work and family life start to overwhelm you, remember you have a ready-made outlet for your stress in the form of a treadmill, weights, or walking paths.
You’ll Be More Fun. Exercise releases endorphins, which create feelings of happiness and euphoria. Those endorphins are so powerful, in fact, studies have shown they can even alleviate symptoms of clinical depression. In some cases, exercise can be just as effective as antidepressant pills! So put on those running shoes and sprint to a better mood and more positive outlook.
You’ll Communicate Better. Exercise has been shown to improve our thinking. Aerobic exercise, in particular, greatly benefits cognitive ability, which improves creativity, helps dust away the cobwebs and allows us to find those words that sometimes fail us. Studies have even found that sprinting improved vocabulary retention in healthy adults.
You’ll Communicate More. Hiking with a spouse after dinner or bike riding with a friend on the weekend, will help you improve your fitness and strengthen your relationships. A brisk walk is a great excuse for a good heart-to-heart – and it’s heart-healthy too!
You Might Even Be Around Longer. The best part of loving relationships is being around to enjoy them! Canadian researchers found that people who exercise live several years longer – anywhere from 2 to 6 years longer – than those who are inactive. And the amazing thing is that regular exercise increases longevity no matter what your weight. So get moving for the ones you love!
