Think More Clearly With Exercise

Great article on fastcompany.com this week titled "The Creative Brain on Exercise" read the full article here. The article looked at the benefits of exercise for artists, writers, entrepreneurs, and business execs and how it helps them thinking more clear and creatively, which leads them to better work and greater successes. Many people feel that they are just too busy to exercise, but those who do make the time to exercise find that they are actually more productive. Part of this may be do to the fact the exercise helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, all of which can be causes by extreme demands and pressures or work. 


A 2004 University of Southern Mississippi study found that the more intense the exercise was the less physical symptoms of anxiety where shown by participants. Along with a 1999 Finnish study of 3,403 people found that those who exercised 2-3 times per week experienced less depression, anger, stress, and cynical distrust than those who didn't exercise.


While it may not be that exercise specifically is leading to greater creativity and success the relief it gives from stress and anxiety is. You don't have to exercise everyday to get these benefits, by making 60 minutes 3 times per week you will see great improves and notice that you start feeling better and are becoming more productive.
