Your physique is a reflection of how you live
This paragraph by Kobe Bryant hits hard:
“Everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to be the best. But very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. Because what it takes is boring. It is waking up at 4:00 AM. It is shooting the same shot a thousand times. It is watching the film when you are tired. People fall in love with the result, but they hate the process. You have to fall in love with the boredom. You have to fall in love with the repetition. If you can find joy in the mundane work that no one else sees, the lights will eventually shine on you.”
Lifting Weights 🏋️♀️
Muscle is metabolically active. The more muscle you build, the more calories your body uses even at rest.
Heavy lifting also helps preserve lean muscle and supports a stronger metabolism over time.
It keeps paying you back on rest days.
SIGNS YOU HAVE A GOOD AURA
1. Liked by cats.
2. Liked by children.
3. You look younger than your age.
4. People don’t believe you when you say you have no money.
5. People naturally look at you with admiration.
6. Empty places seem to get busier after you arrive.
7. You stay calm and wise, even through life’s hardest moments.
This paragraph by Haruki Murakami hits hard:
“Once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
People who spend long periods of time at home and slowly lose the desire to go outside often think they're just resting. But psychologically, many of them are experiencing something called mental rumination. It's a state where the brain starts slowing down while the number of thoughts inside keeps increasing and the motivation to do anything slowly disappears. The mind gets stuck in the past, worries about the future and burns itself out. This isn't laziness, it's a nervous system stuck in survival mode. And the longer it lasts, the more distant normal life begins to feel. And the difficult part is that you usually can't escape it through one massive burst of motivation. And sometimes,recovery starts with just one small step.
