Finding Meaning In Life Through Exercise
“The purpose of life, as far as I can tell… is to find a mode of being that’s so meaningful that the fact that life is suffering is no longer relevant.” — Jordan B. Peterson
In the process of getting my certification as a Precision Nutrition Coach, we learned that health is not only a physical thing: it’s multi-dimensional.
Health can go beyond the physical and into the mental, emotional, existential, relational, and more.
One of the favorites that I am currently prioritizing is existential. What am I here for? What is my purpose?
To some of us might seem “woo-woo”, but it’s because we can’t exactly quantify our consciousness.
Essentially, our consciousness can’t be measured directly.
While the concept of the existential can be very abstract, psychological studies have gone into the importance of meaning for our overall mental health.
And more recently, psychological studies have been exploring exercise and it’s importance in discovering or pursuing meaning.
