I feel like whatever makes showing up easier is what I want to do. Do I consider myself an athlete/ bodybuilder/ cyclist/ runner? Yes I do, even though I will never be competitive at any of them. Why? Bc it makes it easier to do the more arduous parts of this. The same habits can be either defining or imprisoning depending on how we frame them. I pick the former bc it’s a hell of a lot easier and more enjoyable plus it greatly increases my chances of being able to do this long term.
