A positive change that changed my life is regular exercise. I started regularly exercising when I was a preteen, around thirteen or fourteen years old. I did that because I was an adolescent, and at that age, girls tend to gain weight, and after that, their height increases, and that weight can become too high. But I was not feeling very happy with my body, and I wanted to change it. So, I watched some YouTube videos about a healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, and workouts. From there, I found this video of a girl named Chloe Ting. She's a fitness influencer, and I started to watch her workout videos. They were follow-along videos, so if she was doing one workout, you could follow along, and there were many videos like that. You could watch those videos and do workouts alongside her. She claims that you would get a lot of very good healthy results, and she was right; you do get great results after those workouts, and I saw quite the results. But apart from physical appearance, a lot of my mental health improved with workouts. My brain became very energetic and healthy. I was not feeling lethargic at all; I felt very energetic and very happy. Workouts increase a lot of feel-good hormones in your mind. They give you a kickstart for your day. If you do it in the morning, it makes your entire day full of energy, and you don't feel lazy that day. It boosted my productivity a lot, and the results were impressive. They were very good, and they changed my life. Since that day, I work out regularly without skipping.
