First of all… c’mon, when you look great you feel great, am I right? But it’s more than just that. I don’t know about you but I always like to keep a 6-pack with me wherever I go, and there’s nothing wrong with keeping it under your shirt.

Seriously though, your physical appearance can also play a factor when it comes to your mental health. If you are unhappy with your body then it’s more than likely that you’re going to be unhappy with yourself in other aspects of life too. I mean, take a look at some celebrities, you don’t see Ryan Reynolds or Margot Robbie too depressed do you? And, when was the last time you saw Chris Hemsworth or Scarlett Johansson actually sad in public? I’m not saying that being super hot automatically makes you happy but it definitely helps.

Another connection between being physically fit and mentally stable is your confidence. When you look good you feel good, and that feeling can carry you to branch out and try new things you wouldn’t have tried if you weren’t feeling so attractive. Now this new feeling of self confidence can also transcend into your professional life as well. Think about it, when you’re more self-confident, other people can pick up on that and it will reflect in your career to your coworkers.

So to tie it all together here, and stay with me on this, the healthier you are the better you look, the better you look the better you feel, the better you feel the more confident you are, the more confident you are the more you are willing to accomplish. Plus, on top of all of that, everybody likes you a little more when you’re the best looking person in the room.
