Understanding that all your current results in any area of your life are controlled by your paradigm, a current mental program that has almost EXCLUSIVE control over your habitual behaviour, and almost ALL of your behaviour is habitual, will allow you finally  change your results and sustain them long term.

Tools that you have withing you are your hidden powers and you own to yourself to work on them in order to live a more fulfilled life, live you deserve.

For now, your actions more likely are controlled by your current results or past failures and you feel like you are spinning in a hamster wheel, getting the same results over and over.

Keeping active and moving when you are suffering with depression is extremely difficult, but it is extremely beneficial. Chronic depression can lead to suicide. Over 800,000 people die annually from suicide representing 1 person every second. Suicide is the leading cause of death in people ages 15-24 in many European countries. From Evan's own experience with depression from the age of 16-24, fitness was his go to pastime when he was feeling down. 
Depression really affects your body and mind. It causes physical symptoms such as aches and pains which occurs in 2 out of 3 people, chronic fatigue, and decreased appetite. Getting up and getting active is key to helping fight depression. Exercise increases symptoms such as low self-esteem and social withdrawal. Regular aerobic exercise is as effective as antidepressant in reducing mild to moderate depression. Evan’s training focuses on weightlifting and boxing. 

As studies have shown, a good walk can do wonders for your mental wellbeing. It improves self-perception and self esteem, mood and sleep quality and it reduces stress and anxiety.

Physically active people have up to 30% risk of becoming depressed and staying active in some form of any way helps those who are depressed to recover. Aimee will discuss this in much more depth during her slot on the conference.
