A Rhythm to do stuff

is the most important thing

is the best that can happen

Is what every self-help article will ever suggest you to do.

I do not wish to be a whistleblower of sorts when I say this.

But that’s just my gut instinct.

They why is it so tough?

It is because in the age we live in instant gratification is given top most priority.

Our brains shun the repetitiveness of things, claiming “what’s the point!”

That’s where the ‘Why, I started this’ question becomes important.

4 years ago, on a cozy Sunday afternoon, I had decided to go to the gym and do something about my body.

On the way, I remember getting bombarded by my inner voice

“Dude, you don’t know anything, what will you even do there”

“You will injure yourself”

“Treadmill? what if it’s already taken?”

Funny enough, none of those things happened, except for the treadmill being taken.

But, I still worked out. Rusty form, no idea what I was doing. But…I still had a workout done.

Then I went the second day and I puked.

Then I had been going there for a month.

Then a few more…

That transition from not knowing to, I will still try was a giant leap.

It’s been 4 years now and now when I try to address that inner voice, I do not get any replies like the ones I had gotten that day.

4 years later, I am proud to say that gymming has become a habit. One that yields me maximum joy.
