A Guide To The Mental Benefits Of Running
Hello, beautiful people are you worried about your
mental health? Then I am ready to provide you some important and effective tips
to reduce your mental pressure.
Exercise, in general, can have many emotional
benefits, but running has the most powerful impact on your mental state. If you
are a runner, you know the feeling – before your run, you may have felt tired or
stressed about certain life events, then after your run, you feel fantastic!
Our minds are very powerful. Our minds control our
thoughts and actions, which can often influence our physical health. Of course, running is a great exercise for losing weight and building your cardiovascular
health, but it also has benefits to the inner essence of our being. Here's how:
1) Decreases Stress
Stress is a mental state of mind. No matter how you
may hate to admit it or believe it, you do cause your own stress. When you allow
the situations in life to affect you internally, you have given the power to that
particular situation by feeling stress.
Running allows you to focus more on your breathing and
the scenery around you. Deep breathing soothes the feelings of fear and/or
anxiety that are associated with stress. Running is like a release button to
the stress that accumulates in your body.
2) Increases Self-Esteem
When you are running on a regular basis, your
self-esteem slowly starts to increase. You start to feel good about yourself,
whether it is the weight loss, weight maintenance, or the health benefits that
you receive.
Studies have linked body image and perceived physical fitness to
self-esteem. That is, those who have are confident about their bodies and who
believe that they are physically fit are likely to have better self-esteem.
Researchers have also found that physical activity
can, directly and indirectly, improve self-esteem, body image, and perceived
physical fitness in adults. For this
reason, experts advise a program of physical activity for those who have low
self-esteem.
As you have the energy and endurance to run, it gives
you a sense of needing to take care of your body, so you are less likely to eat
foods that are not good for you, or partake in any unhealthy behavior. You see
the benefits that running gives you, and you have a sense of pride and respect
for your body.

3) Increases Feeling of Freedom
Running is a great way to feel free – free from all
the challenges and obstacles that life sometimes delivers. When you are
running, there is a sense of freedom. You can go where you want at the speed
you want, and no one and no thoughts can hinder this freedom.
You automatically feel a sense of release from the
demanding boss, nagging children, or pushy creditors. Even if for only a
moment, you are free and in your own place of silence and calmness that is
soothing to both your body and mind. Sometimes it takes physical activity to
really quiet our minds – something that is not easy to achieve in modern
society.
4) Decreases Depression
When you are running, your brain automatically
releases beta-endorphins. Beta endorphins are neurotransmitters in the brain
that are affected during the depression. In depression, the neurotransmitters are
not firing properly, and a feeling of overall wellness is decreased.
This is the reason why many feel a “runners’ high”
after a run. It is a complete feeling of peacefulness and happiness as if all
the problems of the day have actually disappeared.
5) Better Mood
Running can help to improve the mood of both the general people and the people who have been diagnosed with a mood
disorder.
Researchers found that active involvement in the running program improved
mood symptoms including depression, anxiety, and stress in both adult and youth
participants.
6) Transformation in
Personality
Running can help us to build a better and flexible
personality. According to David Silk, creator
of precision run , running forces you to face physical and
emotional discomfort in a very real and raw way. He explains that even for
seasoned runners, there is no way to avoid it or make it easy. But facing
the emotional wall of running can lead to mental breakthroughs and a
heightened sense of accomplishment. In fact, Silk says that he often sees this
phenomenon in the new runners he coaches during his classes.

your sadness.
