# Exercise As A Coping Mechanism

Exercise is hard. So I realised that for positive effects like
muscle or health, exercise usually does not continue. At least in
my case.

Then I suddenly realised that exercise as a coping mechanism would
work. Because exercise is hard, if you think of it as a self-harm,
it would probably work.

INSTEAD OF CUTTING YOUR WRIST, YOU EXERCISE.

When you want to escape from the reality, you exercise as a self-harm.
Even if you get bored, you want to escape from the reality so that
you exercise.

By exercising, you get better everytime and your stress actually
goes down.
