Did you know that regular exercise also offers numerous mental health benefits that can positively impact your overall well-being? Below are some of the key mental health benefits of engaging in regular physical activity.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong>Reduces Stress:</strong> When you exercise, your body releases endorphins and reduces the production of cortisol. The former is the hormone responsible for stress reduction while the latter is the culprit.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong><strong>Improves Mood:</strong> </strong>You sleep better when you exercise regularly and in turn, this can improve your mood. You will agree that waking in the morning with a big smile on your face sets the tone for that day.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong>Boosts Memory:</strong> Studies have shown that regular exercise can boost brainpower, mental energy as well as creativity. It helps your mind stay sharp all the time thereby, preventing memory loss. If you are experiencing a creativity drought, perhaps, all you need is an exercise routine to get it flooding again.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong>Boosts Self-Esteem:</strong> Engaging in regular exercise can improve self-esteem and body image, as it contributes to a sense of accomplishment and physical well-being.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong><strong>Promotes Better Sleep:</strong></strong> Regular exercise can do a lot of good for your circadian rhythm. Better sleep positively impacts mental health and emotional stability.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong>Reduces Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression: </strong>When depression and anxiety kick in, regular exercise can reduce the symptoms and keep your mood up.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong>Stress Outlet:</strong> Exercise can serve as a healthy outlet for managing stress and frustration, reducing the likelihood of these emotions building up and causing mental distress.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong>Social Interaction:</strong> Participating in group exercises or team sports can foster social interaction, which is essential for mental well-being. Social connections contribute to feelings of belonging and support.</span></p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1000" height="667" src="https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Image-b-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5575" srcset="https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Image-b-1.jpg 1000w, https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Image-b-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Image-b-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Image-b-1-630x420.jpg 630w, https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Image-b-1-24x16.jpg 24w, https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Image-b-1-36x24.jpg 36w, https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/Image-b-1-48x32.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong>Distraction from Negative Thoughts:</strong> Engaging in physical activity can provide a temporary respite from negative thought patterns, as it shifts focus to the present moment and the task at hand.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt"><strong>Empowerment and Resilience</strong>: Setting and achieving exercise goals can promote a sense of empowerment and resilience, which can carry over into other areas of life.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt">Note that regular exercise still does not take away the importance of seeking help from a mental health professional if need be. In addition, find a routine that works for you and not necessarily what the majority is doing. Seek professional advice before starting a workout regimen especially, if there are preexisting health concerns.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;font-size: 14pt">Read Also: <a href="https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/healthy-eating-tips-for-weight-management/">Healthy Eating Tips for Weight Management</a></span></p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/mental-health-benefits-of-regular-exercise/">MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS OF REGULAR EXERCISE</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina">UBA Lion King Blog</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>A STORY FOR MORE #MONDAY MOTIVATION</title> <link>https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/a-story-for-more-monday-motivation/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-story-for-more-monday-motivation</link> <comments>https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/a-story-for-more-monday-motivation/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Jan 2019 14:32:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[lion king]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mental Wellbeing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[#BESTPLACETOWORK]]></category> <category><![CDATA[#communication]]></category> <category><![CDATA[#foodforthought #MondayMotivation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[#FUNPLACETOWORK #IDEAL #WORKPLACE]]></category> <category><![CDATA[#Lifestyle]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.ubagroup.com/57-marina/2019/01/07/a-story-for-more-monday-motivation/</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p> A Dish of Ice Cream In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table.
