  • Therapy and gym are my big ones lately.

    There was a reason I was trying to numb myself with alcohol so often, definitely needed some therapy to address those core issues.

    Gym is a mixed bag for me. I used to have some pretty bad body image issues despite being pretty darn fit. Trying to get back into the gym with a “I’m doing this for long term health” mindset instead of my college era mindset of “MUST LIFT HEAVY, MUST GET BUFF” which led to injuries on more than one occasion. Still working on that. But sometimes the old mindset creeps in and I do stuff I could manage at 21, but shouldn’t be doing at 31. Tweaked my back last week picking up some heavy dumbbells with poor form. Yay…
