Exercise keeps me occupied, which is good for my mental health.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Exercise is like an addiction. Once you're in it, you feel like your body needs it.
Exercising gives me endorphins and energy. I do it four days a week.
Exercise plays a huge role in keeping me sane, and that's my primary motivation to 'find time.'
I give a tremendous amount of weight to the mental aspect of physical activity and what it does for me.
What I do for exercise sort of depends on what's happening in the rest of my life.
We readily go to the health club when our doctor suggests we need more exercise, but we regularly neglect the 'mental health club' that our well-being more truly requires.
Human bodies are designed for regular physical activity. The sedentary nature of much of modern life probably plays a significant role in the epidemic incidence of depression today. Many studies show that depressed patients who stick to a regimen of aerobic exercise improve as much as those treated with medication.
Keep yourself busy if you want to avoid depression. For me, inactivity is the enemy.
I like to meditate. But I get rid of my stress at the gym.
I've run my whole life - for more than exercise, for mental health.
