PYSCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF EXERCISE (as studied and proven):
Exercise releases endorphins and serotonin—the happy feeling! When you move your body, your mood improves and the sun appears.
Exercise is tied to more powerful cognitive function, especially in later years. The more you move, the sharper your MIND.
Exercise dramatically reduces symptoms of anxiety and stress. Those pangs of feeling out of control or overwhelmed can be aided through simply stepping outside and going for a walk, jog, lifting some weights or just getting going.
Exercise improves self-esteem. When you workout and take care of your body and its needs, you find yourself appreciating your effort and hard work and even your body!
Exercise then boosts body-image. When your self-esteem is aided, so is your perception of your body. Appreciating your body through exercise allows you to appreciate all that it is, exactly as it is!
Exercise provides a sense of satisfaction and pride. When you workout you feel accomplished for working on yourself and prioritizing your bodily needs! It’s a moment to be proud.
Exercise reduces symptoms of depression. Studies have shown that exercise helps those individuals struggling with depression and provides relief.
Exercise increases your energy! When you workout your bodily symptoms kick into gear, more blood flow occurs, anabolic processes turn on and a sense of rejuvenation sets in. Exercise boosts energy.
Exercise provides more bodily autonomy and thus more bodily confidence and excitement for the future. The more you work on yourself physically, the brighter and broader the future becomes.
Exercise empowers you! Working hard on yourself gives you the confidence that you are capable of anything and that the world is your oyster.
And, the list goes ON! Exercise is good for your PSYCHEE!
