This paper is an analysis of two interviewees , a male and a female both in the working population carrying out full-time jobs.The name of the male interviewee is Mahesh Aidaswani who has been working as a director in a business firm for over 20 years. The name of the female interviewee is Lavina Aidaswani who just entered the workforce less than a year back and is working as a corporate social responsibility assistant. The purpose of carrying out the interviews was to find out their motivation types and their outcomes at the workplace conforming with the self-determination theory. There were two different findings between the two interviewees. The following are their findings

Exercise has endless benefits for the body, you can never go wrong with it. Most people think that it will only help the body physically, as in to keep themselves fit and such, but it actually also affects the brain. Having regular exercise could actually prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
Although running does not and will not cure anxiety and depression, it can help. Kirsten Jett, a Boston Marathon qualifier, struggled with depression for her whole life and decided to pick up running. Running did not cure her depression, but she said, “I credit all those miles for keeping me from sinking back into depression.” Currently, as stated in a poll from ADAA, only around fourteen percent of people turn to the regular use of exercise as a way to manage stress. This percentage of people is too small compared to the number of people with mental health issues.
Body image has become a huge trend created by the social media in the past few years for both men and women. Getting the ideal body shape flaunted by movie /TV stars and models has become a new trend from the past few years. And to achieve these targets men and women undergo crash diets, appetite control or excessive intake of protein and even drugs to reach their ideal body shape. On the basis of theories and values of functionalism I would like to talk about my picture and explain how the media has dictated and played a negative role in sowing the seed of body image consciousness in our minds and how it has impacted our society as a whole in a negative manner.

Change is often a difficult process where resistance is very common. Initiated change is easy to adopt. As discussed in the previous journal, physical exercise is important for promotion of good core health and is beneficial in reducing stress. Untreated stress can lead to negative effect on physical and psychological health (Kim, 2014). It is hard to change when someone wants you to change, but its easy when you are motivated to change. Motivation is a critical factor in supporting sustained exercise which is further associated with important health outcome (Teixeira, Cassaca, Markland, Silva, Ryan, 2012).
In examining this issue, we have to ponder does exercise improve mental health, or is exercise a sign of good mental health? Scientists do acknowledge that persons who take the decision to exercise may naturally practice a wide range of positive health behaviours that keep them in better mental health. They also may have a psychological disposition that may in itself protect their mental health, like being resilient. The different types of studies however show that the association of exercise with improvements in mental health is clear,” Dr Nelson explained.
A student is failing two of his classes and gets kicked off the sports they were on. This student now has a low self-esteem and feels like there is no point to do her school work because she is already kicked out of her sport. She doesn’t feel like she needs to bring her grades up.
The practice of yoga can be dated all the way back to when the Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Hindu text, was completed in 200 CE. As of lately, it seems as though yoga studios have been popping up on every corner of communities and that we all know someone who considers himself/herself a “yogi.” The practice and exercise of yoga includes the combination of physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and a unique mindset and attitude. The yoga that we all usually hear about in the United States is Hatha. This certain kind of yoga emphasizes those physical postures, breathing, and silent meditation. According to the Yoga in America study, 20.4 million people in the United States practice yoga now. This is a 29 percent increase since 2008. Of the 20.4 million people, 82 percent of them are women and 38 percent have only practiced yoga for a year or less. This practice has truly exploded in our society, so much so that its profit margin and revenue has increased 5 percent to 8.3 billion dollars since 2011.
There will be many times when students will neglect their health due to other factors such as stress or simply ignorance. By beginning now, we can instill a sense of physical education’s importance and ensure that students carry on these abilities to their adult lives, knowing that having a good physical state would vastly improve their mental
Heading to the gym and getting exercise is one way many Americans choose to relieve stress. A poll taken by NPR in 2014 shows that 1 in every 4 people have experienced stress in the past month. This outstanding number works out to more than 115 million Americans affected by stress, and getting some physical activity can help reduce that stress. Taking part in some physical activity can also boost endorphins, which create feelings of happiness in the brain. This boost of happiness can help deal with common problems such as depression. Depression has grown to be a more common problem over many years, to a point where suicide has become the 8th leading cause of death in America. To prevent depression and more premature deaths, an easy solution is to start integrating exercise into our routine. Exercise also greatly helps in improving self-esteem and reducing anxiety, which can lead to a boost in confidence in one’s everyday interactions with people. Physical Activity is also known to boost brain power and sharpen memory. Various studies on mice and men have shown that cardiovascular exercise can create new brain cells and improve overall brain performance. Frequent physical activity is known to boost memory and ability to learn new things. Getting sweaty increases production of cells in hippocampus, which is responsible for memory and learning. All of these benefits come with only an
Yoga is an effective means of treatment for a variety of chronic illnesses. You may not have a cure on your hands for all of these illnesses, but you will be able to reduce the symptoms greatly.
Although some people may think that aerobics and Pilates are quite different, there are few similarities between them. Both aerobics and Pilates have a powerful effect on the mental health. Psychiatrists nowadays are replacing Drugs and medicines with exercises for the improvement that they noticed in their patients who exercise regularly. A few Minutes of aerobic and Pilates every day can remove stress, pressure, anger, and depression through the release of a hormone called Endorphins, which excites a good feeling in the body, and it decreases the feeling of pain, just as morphine (4). Moreover, aerobics and Pilates effectively improve the brain functions such as concentration, planning, and problem solving since they raise the heart rate that provides more oxygen to the brain to increase the
Exercise benefits every part of the body, including the mind. Exercising causes the body to produce endorphins, chemicals that can help a person to feel more peaceful and happy.
