text: As well as sports, fitness in general is something to keep you moving. If you need motivation, just work out. Staying fit always keeps you healthy. It also makes you happier. The sensation of working hard in a workout creates a chemical reaction in your brain, making you happier. If you need help getting over something, it will get you through your problems by distracting you and making you content. Staying fit can also be a great confidence booster in the sense that you can feel ready to do anything after you've finished whatever it may be that you're doing.
