The next time you go to a gym, don’t just go for some random exercises or to do a “workout”. Go with a purpose and plan for the kinds of movement patterns and weight you will be lifting. Ask yourself if you are focusing on building strength or endurance? Are you trying to maintain muscle as you age or grow new muscles for some future challenges? How about your brain’s capabilities? Figure out what kind of mental fitness you are doing that can help with balance, calming the mind, and turning on your focus for important tasks.
When you look at physical and mental training this way, you have a more effective way to train and you get practical benefits from the sweat and time invested. Better physical health isn’t just limited to your heart and your muscles becoming stronger. Your brain and everything related to your mind also gets a boost so thinking is less strenuous and clearer. A healthy brain requires a healthy body to carry it around and get the nutrients needed to feed that brain.
Look up ways to specifically improve your mental health through physical training, breathing practices and nutrition. All of these are much better and safer than pharmaceutical drugs. The choice to simply walk through a forest or park trail a few times a week can make all the difference in the world. You can also pay attention to your different breathing patterns throughout the day and try to get to deep breathing as much as possible to calm down and focus.
By occasionally doing hard workouts, you stress your entire being and push effort to a new level. You prove to yourself that you can do challenging things and you have what it takes. That’s how courage and confidence are developed and maintained.
The quality of your life is dictated by your daily habits and mindset. With the proper training, you can be ready for anything and that includes, a very stressful life situation so please, train with greater purpose the next time you plan to do something physical. It can make all the difference in the world.
