Exercise For Self-confidence

Fitter, stronger, better adapted and more confident. This is the promise made by regular and appropriate exercise. And its a promise that is made good, if one can judge by the feedback both from people who take exercise and the scientific studies that have been done on the subject. Exercise as simple as going out for a short walk already gets the process going. When you do this on a regular basis, you reap the regular and cumulative benefits.

So why should this be the case? There are many possible explanations. By looking at what we know about how the body, the brain and the mind function, youll be able to take the facts and consider them in the light of what makes best sense to you.

Repair and cleansing

First of all, exercise improves the circulation of your blood. Naturally, this is when you are doing appropriate exercise that is aligned with your physical condition and capacity. Nevertheless, your heart beats more strongly and pumps oxygen enriched blood around your body, which in turn helps your body to repair better and more quickly any tissues that are damaged or that naturally need renewal. As a bonus, you also eliminate any toxic substances more quickly. So the positive effect is one of physical well-being and fitness, which can also be expressed as a feeling of increased capability and self-motivation.

The enhanced blood flow also acts on your brain, where it encourages the production of a number of natural positive chemicals. These chemicals act on the brains pleasure center as well as on the perception that you have of being more relaxed, more focused and better concentrated. Without any artificial additives, you acquire the sensation of being better able to handle situations, crises or emergencies. This is the big difference with medications, for example, that may bring temporary effects to relax and to focus, but often run the risk of side effects as well, because manufacturers cannot compete with the naturally produced substances in your body, which automatically take account of the complexities of the human organism.

The quiet message from your brain

With these sensations of being more capable both at a physical and a mental level, your self-esteem rises as well. You know that implicitly you are capable of more, and this knowledge starts to act on the things that you say, your attitude, your behavior and the things that you do. This positive spiral is self-reinforcing. The more your self confidence increases, the more you act in accordance with this new-found mindset, which makes your self confidence increase yet further. You are essentially going you own self esteem improvement.

Your whole being is built to take advantage of this. Indeed, your body and brain have evolved in this way, because exercise was a fundamental part of your ancestors existence thousands, or tens of thousands, of years ago. Without running, chasing and hunting, your ancestors would have died out. So the human body automatically acquired mechanisms to encourage exercise, to feel good about it, to increase the latent capabilities both mentally and physically and thus to significantly boost self-confidence for the reasons above.
