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.

Goulding links mental-health struggle to an unexpected, constructive habit: exercise. The quote frames jogging not as vanity or branding but as a coping mechanism that restores a sense of control when panic makes the body feel unreliable. She also notes a feedback loop between celebrity and audience: a private strategy becomes public example, and fans mirror it. The significance lies in its ambivalence—she calls the “addiction” to jogging odd, acknowledging compulsion, yet emphasizes the net benefit. It’s a small statement about resilience and about how public figures can normalize practical self-care without romanticizing the underlying anxiety.
