I have bought a book sometime ago. It is called The Self-Esteem Workbook. I was cleaning out my book shelf when I found this book and felt I was in a state of mind to actually work on the necessities of myself.
I have found that you can’t ignore your body and expect to feel good. I’m sure I knew this down deep inside but I guess it took me to visualize it to really get it plus seeing the necessary steps to take to fix the problem areas.
The 3 areas of optimal physical health are aerobic exercise, sleep hygiene & eating practices.
Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic exercise improves self-esteem and mental health. It’s also the treatment choice of weight management & sleep improvement. We all should have at least 30 minutes of exercise at least (no less than) 4 days in the week. Being content is key to exercise sucess. Exercise can be effective for losing weight and manage stress. Start exercising gradually. Exercise should leave you feeling refreshed and energized. Exercise should not hurt or exhaust you beyond a pleasant fatigue. Only do what you can do to start. Your not in competition with anyone including yourself. If you have trouble falling asleep then exercise before dinner or earlier.
