During this first course, we will concentrate on your physical well-being. It is trite that being in good physical condition helps us feel stronger, perform daily activities more easily, and improve the quality of life in general. But, more specifically, how the way we feel physically might affect our relationship with others, especially with our partner and our children.

If we take into consideration that being in a good physical condition decreases our levels of anger, anxiety, confusion, depression, stress, and tension and increases our level of confidence, emotional stability, independence, positive mood, self-image, self-worth, and self-esteem; does not sound to you like that all those aspects are determining the way we relate to others? Let’s take just one of those attributes, for example: “self-esteem.” How often do we have problems or misunderstandings with our loved ones for not considering ourselves enough to get their love or attention? How different would many annoying situations be if we did not take personal comments or attitudes from others because we possess a high level of self-esteem? We are not saying that 100% of our self-esteem comes from our physical well-being, but it helps a lot.

So, now do you understand how being in good physical condition can transcend the “physical” to the “non-physical”?
