I had spent about 6 hours doing yardwork.
Maybe an hour after getting done I was at the gym.
I had relaxed a bit, had a cup of juice, and despite not being much interested in the gym, went anyway.
It’s better than staying home.
Getting out of the house is almost always better than staying home.
This was not the exception.
Going to the gym after physical work reminded me of all the times I’d done so after shifts at the moving company.
I felt grimy, and smelled rank. I was a bit dehydrated and had very little food in me.
No matter, go anyway.
I changed before going and as I said had a cup of juice.
Little things can make going far easier.
I’m glad I did, I ended up having fun.
And you can always find some movement that clicks each and every day.
As I dried off, having showered up at the end, I thought to myself “the more physical you are during the day, the easier it is to get to the gym”.
It’s the people sitting at a desk all day who struggle to get to the gym.
Anyone with a halfway physical day that isn’t lazy easily brings themselves to the gym.
For example I see shockingly high numbers of construction workers working out.
A lot of the best built and strongest dudes at the gym often have physical jobs.
They’re doing it on top of labor which to the low energy office worker sounds insane, and is viewed as superhuman.
The thing is that workouts on top of labor is actually in their favor. The two feed off of each other.
Not many believe it when I say this, though it’s truth.
Do more physically to be capable of doing more physically.
The human body is capable of evermore.
It just gets used to one way or the other.
Physicality or sloth? Sloth or physicality?
Even if you work seated at a desk, it’s still your choice.
Do you walk an hour in the morning? You can.
In fact it’d be a big help towards getting you into the feel that laborers live with, their natural high energy.
What do you do after work?
Pickup basketball or pickup the remote?
Do you do stuff on the weekends?
Bike rides, hikes, your own yard work, etc.
The more activity you do the more energy reserves you will discover inside you.
That’s why I want you doing stuff, being at least naturally physical daily.
This is why I envision myself as a multimillionaire who owns amongst other things a moving company so as to have a place to undercover boss style work part time for the physicality benefits.
Nobody needs know that J is not only a part time coworker, but their employer.
Good day yesterday.
Good day today.
Good day tomorrow.
Life is good.
Persistence & Tenacity
