Most blogs I don’t give two shits about, so it’s hard for me to imagine someone will take the time to read this one… but hey I’ve come this far so what not give it a bit more of a crack…
The first draft of this post was entitled “Chronic disease loves lazy people” where I pleaded with people to keep at their workout routine over the colder period and how, well… your excuses won’t help you reach your gaols, keep you fit or fight of chronic disease
Why was I so emotional about this? I used to tell myself it is because I just care more than most people do… but after a couple of years of this, a conversation with a friend and a Joe Rogan podcast I have come to see that it is because I am so terrified of seeing these qualities in myself …
Most ex-military guys I know (shout out to the Second Battalion) fucken hate lazy people! Coming from an environment where you are so used to just calling it out it’s hard to adjust your approach to a more understanding one… just hearing someone talk about how “busy” they are that they couldn’t possibly take care of themselves fucken gets me every time… we are all “busy” mate
but why do I get so upset or take this as some kind of personal attack on me, because I care so much about this person? maybe… but more likely I am just afraid of seeing this soft, half assed approach in my own live and having someone call me out.
So, what’s the solution… fucking great question my friend!
For now, I think a good bit of practical advice for myself is to just present people with the information and if they decide they want to piss it away then that’s their business… I know ground-breaking right…
So here it is: yeah it’s cold, but harden up
