Why is this Pursuit Important?

Feeling good physically and mentally are so important to our overall happiness in life.  Without our health and mental well being nothing else really matters right?!  Without our health and wellbeing we can’t enjoy all the things we love to do in life! 
Exercise and eating right can and will….
  • Improve memory,
  • Ward off depression.
  • Help us be more creative.  
What Do the Experts Say?
  • We are the most productive and mentally sharp 2-3 hours after exercise.
  • After 3 months of an exercise regimen, our memory increases by 30 %.
  • ​Cognitive flexibility improves after just one 35 minute treadmill session at 60-70% of our maximum heart rate.  What this means is that we can quickly shift our thinking and produce a steady flow of creative thoughts easier after working out.

Physical &Mental Health Go Hand in Hand

Feeling Good PHYSICALLY

Feeling good physically doesn't mean you have to run a marathon or climb mountains to feel fit.  But what it does mean is that you need to take care of your body by exercising daily and eating healthy. The key to finding joy within this Pursuit is to exercise your body in ways that you enjoy.  ​When you enroll in the official Love What's Next Project you will explore different forms of exercise in order to accomplish this goal.  You will ultimately find many, different, options that really interest you and this will move you to want to exercise your body daily! 

Feeling Good MENTALLY

This pursuit isn’t just about doing what it takes to be physically fit and eat right...We have to exercise our brain as well!  It is important that we exercise our brain daily to stay sharp and prevent memory loss.  Learning new things is empowering and can lead you on a journey you never imagined before!  The official Love What's Next Project takes you on a journey to uncover ways that YOU love to learn and exercise your brain.  We offer resources to help you discover and then experience whatever you want to do within this pursuit.

Change is GOOD!

If you already exercise daily and actively work your brain that's awesome!  You too, know the importance this Pursuit has on your happiness.  But maybe you have been doing the same workouts for your body and your brain for some time now.   Sally Wadyka, health and fitness writer  for One Medical, tells us that exercise is essential for keeping your brain sharp and helping to prevent memory loss.  And learning new skills also helps keep your neurons firing better.  So learning a new exercise activity is a double-whammy when it comes to brain health.  And physically when you do the same activity all the time, your body gets used it and becomes very efficient.  Eventually, that adaptation will mean that you burn fewer calories even when you’re doing the same amount of exercise, Sally Wadyka says.  Also, mixing up what you do will beat workout  boredom!
