Our Obsession with Brittany Spears: Mirroring our own Fears

It doesn’t matter if you are a Brittany Spears fan or not. It doesn’t matter if you feel that the main stream media focuses too much on her and not enough on real news. Brittany is an archetype of the fallen star; where we love to build her up and then relish in her downfall. We focus on her because she mirrors our own fears of failing. It is time to look at our own lives and focus on ourselves. We are all wounded in some way and exercising while looking inward can help heal emotional pain. The pain can be from the breakup of a relationship, divorce, loss of a job, death of a loved one or being abused as a child. While exercising, the brain chemistry changes from a state of being numb, anxious or depressed to a state of calmness. When you reach this tranquil state, you will discover the confidence to face your emotional pain. You may not have been able to accomplish this while sedentary because the ill feelings and bad memories were too frightening. Studies show that only fifteen minutes of exercise will enable the endorphins to kick in and you will feel at ease and stronger, mentally.
