My research question is: How does exercise promote positive mental health? This topic interests me because for 2023 I started to eat more healthily as well as exercise 5-6 times a week mostly because growing up I hated the way I looked and ate unhealthy foods. Before 2023 I would exercise a little but would give up and I was always stressed and never felt happy. What I noticed when exercising is it helped me feel less anxious and cleared my head from distractions which lead me to prioritize myself and it was an effective way to pass time. I already know that exercise like walking, weightlifting, yoga and more can help reduce stress, depression, and negative thoughts about oneself. Exercise can also improve your health which will keep someone happier and healthier in the future. With exercise you can slowly add healthier food to your diet which can promote you to feel more energy during the day and better sleep at night. Some points I plan to explore are the science behind exercise that helps with promoting better mental health. Another point is, can exercise really improve someone’s happiness even if they don’t try?

Your RQ has an obvious YES answer.
SO — Can you reword it:
HOW does exercise promote positive mental health?
Then you would be researching the science behind how exercise works on mental health.
Otherwise good proposal. You did a good job following the template!
