The recent period brought with it feelings of uncertainty, an increase in anxiety and boredom among those who did not return to work. This new reality is more difficult for people with an addiction tendency. The free, empty time that has long been made into the power of bad habits such as drinking alcohol, consuming drugs, sex addiction and even watching Netflix in an unreasonable amount. 

How can we deal with the problem? Many studies suggest that fitness training improves mood, relieves stress, and helps with mental flexibility. As we begin to become active and exercise, we actually trigger the release of serotonin and endorphins in the brain, which not only give a good feeling, but also help control emotions such as fear, stress and pleasure. 

Controlled exercise will give you a sense of calm and calm that can help reduce the need for alcohol, smoking or virtually any harmful habit that is done excessively and uncontrollably.

Exercising can in many cases be a great platform for social gathering. When you shut down your home, you focus more on your worries and problems, which eventually leads to the escalation of negative habits that escape from trouble. Group training makes it possible to get to know new people, give them daily respite hassles, and develop socially-based and beneficial habits. 

Other benefits are improved motivation, alertness and concentration. A person who starts exercising gets a sense of vitality that can help him channel and improve his life in other areas, thus finding creative and positive solutions to improve the new reality he is experiencing.

This is an opportunity for positive activity, one that will replace addictions and habits that can cause considerable harm in the long run. Also, physical exercise performance contributes to good, continuous sleep that improves performance and function throughout the day.

The prolonged time at home and the loss of employment have caused people self-harm, a sense of uselessness and general weakness. The main problem is that the bad habits do give relief at that moment, but they heighten the bad feelings. The sport, on the other hand, brings with it a sense of ability, success and satisfaction in doing the workout and over time it also strengthens and improves health even more.

It is important to remember that despite all the many benefits, sporting activity can be addictive and dangerous to the health of the body and mind when it is done with extreme frequency and extreme form. It is advisable to consult a qualified guide, choose an activity that suits your level of fitness and physical ability and perform it in a controlled and correct manner. Ensuring good sleep, nutritious food and rest days between workout and workout are very important for body recovery and injury prevention. Proper balance is the key to a happy, peaceful and joyful life.
