The Times of Malta – Matthew Muscat Inglott
“Some of the immediate and more superficially apparent effects of exercise like losing weight and gaining physical strength will increase physical confidence, but they also boost inner psychological confidence too. Carving out time in the day to indulge a personal interest can do wonders for one’s sense of self-worth. Exercise is a clear investment of time and effort in bettering oneself, not to mention the immediate meditative value of focusing one’s attention away for trouble and strife, and on a singular healthy and productive task. Over the longer term, exercise can help develop a more driven and assertive character whether it’s performed solo or in group settings.” (more)
