are one."

A study conducted at the
Eastern Ontario Research Institute
found that people who exercised twice
a week for 10 weeks felt more competent
socially, academically, and athletically. They
also rated their body image and self-esteem
higher. Best of all, rather than the physical
changes in their bodies being responsible
for the uptick in confidence, it was the
immediate, endorphin-fueled positivity
from exercise that made all the
difference. Schedule your exercise
to make certain it happens, or
the days will just slip away.

"Positive emotions flood our brains
with dopamine and serotonin, chemicals that not only make us feel good, but dial up the learning centers of our brains to higher levels. They help us organize new information, keep that information in the brain longer, and retrieve it faster later on. And they enable us to make and sustain more neural connections, which allows us to think more quickly and creatively, become more skilled at complex analysis and problem solving, and see and invent new ways of doing things."
