I suffer panic attacks which has made me really conscious about my fitness and I have become addicted to jogging. It might sound odd but a lot of good has come out of it. My fans send letters saying they have taken up jogging because I do it.

Fitness needs to be perceived as fun and games or we subconsciously avoid it.

Loneliness is I think people's biggest fear whether they are conscious of it or not.
