Fitness is a key aspect towards healthy life as health is the biggest wealth. Mental Health (MH) is the core element of physical health and that is why it should be balanced and well maintained. Fitness practices are scientifically proven to be quite helpful to keep one’s mental well-being sound and steady.
What is Fitness, How it helps in MH:
Fitness is not just being able to do some tough exercise, it is all about a sound, active, and happy body. When we are in line with our mind our body becomes a place of peace and happiness and at that state, one can be considered as “Fit”.
Keeping physical body in line with mental being. Keys to keep a body fit:-
Daily exercise:
Doing daily exercise can be a good option to remain active and happy in life. You don’t necessarily need to do exercise every day but if one follows exercise routines in a regular manner, it is definitely beneficial towards keeping mental health steady and physical well-being healthy
Walk and running habits:
It is scientifically proven that every one-hour morning walk gives your immune system an extra boost and energizes the central nervous system to some extent. A cool morning walk after getting up can make one’s mind refreshed and help mental state calm and relaxed throughout the day. So, tomorrow morning don’t forget to give it a try.
Yoga:
No doubt to fight against anxiety, frustration, and boredom Yoga is an instant relief. If your daily schedule is so compact, “yoga before bed” is something worth trying. One can sit doing Yoga at any time for any amount of time whatever works for the person. It really helps our mind settle down and cool off after heavy workloads.
Meditation:
Alongside yoga, meditation is another effective tool to fight against mental disorders and mood swings (we all face in our everyday life knowingly/unknowingly). There are tons of videos made available on the internet which teach several types of meditation for different needs and issues. My favorite is “mindful meditation” and “breathing control”.
Engaging with daily-deeds:
A good way to engage yourself is to start a practice be it Creativity, Self-entertainment, Self-listening, and so on. It gives your mind a supportive feel which is necessary to keep one’s mental health balanced and well. So, make your hobby a practice and feel the change.
Fitness and additional Elements healing body and soul:
Provide nutrients to soul to live joyfully:
Doing Yoga, meditation, dance, running and things like that act as vitamins to one’s soul. Everyone deserves a joyful life but how will it happen if you don’t know how to find inner peace and joy. Modern research has proven that one can gradually step forward to inner peace with regular fitness practice. So start from today and be a witness to yourself.
Mentally sound and active:
Who doesn’t need a sound mind? Do you know an active mind works better than an anxious and worried one? Remember to take a break and practice some Fitness elements, be it a short walk, moving body parts, deep breathing, or something else, when you feel you are under pressure and things are not getting done. Believe me, it works!
Deep Music for better sleep:
Deep music, while you sleep, can heal one’s mental aches and provide a soothing feeling which helps in sleep. If you are struggling with sleeping, turn on deep or relaxing music on your phone or speaker, and definitely, you will feel relaxed and ready to sleep peacefully.
Fitness training can be a job option:
Nowadays fitness training has become so popular that almost in every institute and organisation a “Fitness trainer” is employed to keep people motivated and active not only during their work but also 24 hours. If you think you can teach people a bit of the essence of fitness practices, it is your turn to shine being a trainer in an organisation.
Overall, practicing and exploring fitness options can open a new way to live a better life with full attention and activeness which makes life great. Good luck with your plan to stay active!
