One
Thing we love about
Mindy Kaling's TV medical alter ego is Dr. Lahiri's bottomless cup of self-confidence. The actress, though, is more like the rest of us and has bouts of insecurity too. We asked
Mindy how she pumps herself up in those moments when she finds her
Confidence waning, and her answer was simple: running!
She told POPSUGAR, "I love exercise, but not for weight-loss reasons (I eat far too much for working out to make a dent in my weight!). I do it because I love the endorphins I get once I work out. So I try to get an endorphin rush before something I'm nervous about by going for a run." She's definitely onto something. Aside from getting
an endorphin-induced runner's high, running is a great way to expend excess energy, especially the negative kind. Plus, working out
can help fight stress-induced insomnia. It's no
Surprise that she told us that going for a long jog is her favorite workout, but she keeps it interesting in a very
Mindy way: she pretends she's a Nazi hunter.
