Oh, sure, you’ve got some great ideas
about what you want to do. You’re probably even working toward them. You might
even have the entire future laid out in a precise roadmap and are busy ticking
off each item on the list. But consider this: you’re still failing if you’re
not fit. That’s being not only
physically fit, but also mentally in shape!
In short, you need to exercise your body
and your mind. Why is exercise so
important to success?
1. Exercise Helps You Practice Skills
You Need Elsewhere
You’re never going to succeed if you
haven’t set up some serious goals and added them to your schedule. People who
exercise are used to doing both things already. In fact, this kind of dedicated
planning is probably already second nature.
Not only laying a plan of attack on your goals, but actually putting
those plans into action.
2. Exercise Invites You to Go Deep
Feeling a little burned out, or bogged
down by bad habits? Both of these problems fade with exercise. When working out,
you give your mind a chance to rest. Better yet, the healthy brain chemicals
triggered by activity, such as dopamine, replace malaise with a feel-good kind
of reaction instead. You get into the zone and can let your mind run free,
exploring new thoughts and ideas while growing more fit and healthy with each
step. Many a knotty problem has been worked out while working out. Don’t forget to also take the time to
exercise your mind on gaining a proper mindset to tackle your physical
activities.
3. Exercise Drops Stress
No, you can’t tell the people around you
what you really think of them. But exercise gives you a safe outlet to burn off
anger, rage, frustration, grief or a host of other emotions aroused by others
throughout the day. This clears your mind to get you back on track with what’s
important. This will help to keep you
focused on the main goals that you have put before yourself.
4. Exercise Builds You Up
When you’re working out, you can’t help
but feel better about yourself. After all, the very act of exercise makes your
body feel good instead of lethargic and heavy. As a result, your self-talk
shifts. You become more positive in what you say, and even more optimistic
about outcomes, especially as you see yourself realizing exercise goals. You
visualize success. You visualize YOU
being successful!
5. Exercise Keeps You on Schedule
When chasing goals, it’s really easy to
keep working without stopping. This will eventually kill you if you’re not
careful. By taking an exercise break, you put a stop to the day and remind
yourself there’s a lot more to life than work. This helps keep you in balance
so you can return to your hopes and dreams with a more rested mind tomorrow. There are more people in your life than
yourself. Don’t forget to give them some
of your time also.
Without your health, you’re never going to
truly be able to achieve anything. In the end, the most significant benefit to
your future success through exercise comes from the fact you’re healthier
overall - - - both physically and mentally! Period! So, get moving, be consistent, and
have fun. Success is out there waiting for you.
Just don’t forget - - - we’re only human!
