If you can say you are a gym monster, a healthy beast, right away, then I guess yes, it’s fair to say you belong to the second kind, and I envy you. But the rest of us are struggling with doing some home workout a habit, or eating healthy and cutting on midnight snacks while cuddling and binge watching our favorite show.
So you creeps, whoever you are, shame on you, for publishing your ideal lifestyle and making us believe we want that. Even though we are convinced, we still don’t want to do it. Not every day at least!
If you think about human beings, yes, we want to move our bodies and put some food in so we can be alive, have energy. Exactly the same way we need the sun, pee, or have sex. These are activities we took because we needed them to become habits, but just like religion, we turned them into a capitalistic product we all suddenly have to do in a specific way, and build our lives around these ”habits”.
What I mean, is that yes, I don’t need to have that piece of chocolate before I go to bed, but I don’t have to workout every day either to stay healthy. See what I’m talking about?
Why do you workout so often ?
Because you were told that you should. That that’s the right way to live longer, or have kids with high IQ or whatever.
Maybe this doesn’t apply to you. In that case, maybe my experience does. When I work out, I do it because I want to feel my body stretching, or I want to loose some fluids, some sweat. Maybe I want my heart rate to be high for a while, or my body to be sore. These feelings are making me take out the yoga mat, or going for a walk, or to the gym. And of course I don’t do it every day. The hours I work and chill are many, during the day, and sometimes I cannot fit in a decent workout.
Don’t believe everything you read, and listen to your body and mind. You know best, unless you are sick. Then go see a doctor, maybe he/she knows better.
Anyway, the next time you see something that triggers you, about being a piece of shit because you had the evening in front of the TV, think why do you feel bad. I believe you’ll find that the reason is not because you don’t feel good. It is because it is believed that what you’re doing is not socially acceptable. But if it acceptable by you, and your body and mind are rested and in peace with each other, then what is the problem?
Please, if you read this and you have any thoughts, I’m glad to talk about it.
