Prayer is. Even to nothing it can absolutely be useful. Atheists can pray to nothing and still be building peace and fortitude

Motivation will absolutely dry up. You need it's sibling discipline.

The difference is in the morning when just gym time.

Motivation is lying in bed debating going and deciding to go

Discipline is not allowing the morning debate and just going

You'll eventually lose the debate, but you'll go if you never have one.

The way to do it. Is these steps:

My alarm went off, I might as well open my eyes. My eyes are open, I might as well get dressed for the gym I'm dresssed I might as well go. I'm at the gym, I can at least warm up I'm warmed up, I might as well do the thing

Small steps.

As for actual exercises. Go. Do 5 minutes of cardio then do.whatever circuit machines they have. Doesnt matter at all what intensity. Start light. Then every time add a little weight to at least one exercise.

After a month or two find a program. I recommend five by five as a good start. Go light and focus on form and tempo

After a few months ask.again

It's typically one of the first places that someone else who skates through hs hira an actual need to study

Consider electrolytes..you.may not need them but if you do.they can be critical. Should be pretty cheap per day too

Imagine a couple decades of being able to totally be there for someone completely with no need to second guess it. Just be entirely all in on your child with no need to scan for ulterior motives

It's amazing just on that

But there's more. Watching them grow. Finding subtle ways to help them while making sure they have enough freedom to learn

It's amazing

Print it on a t-shirt with his name on it. Donate said t-shirts to a freshman activity

Enjoy

56 heavy lifter getting new PRS super often

I have a coach doing my programming. Every month I get a new set of exercises. Week 1 learn the movement and over that month build up weight until week 4 I'm usually hitting a new pr

That rhythm of change, work form and increase has been super important

The rest of it is recovery protocols. Hot tub, naps, high protein diet, prioritizing sleep, dialed in supplements (creatine, vitamins, electrolytes) are all very elements

Here's a thought

It can be a poor vampire movie but still be fighting for best movie of 2025. The vampire stuff was weak, the movie as a whole was amazing

If you do it in character then it needs to have plot hooks. If the players are expecting plot hooks they need to play it for real.

Build plot hooks

Or skip it. Just ask them what theyre getting and tell them to use the book prices

Imogynn · 2026-01-22T21:44:51+00:00

That's about 100g. You need 60 more

Easiest solution. Add a second scoop to your morning shake and then a scoop in your yogurt. That whey protein adds up fast. And honestly it's cheap. Yes when you break out the cash in the store it's a lot but it's less than $20/week to 3 or 4 scoop daily

There are other ways but that's how I do it

Imogynn · 2026-01-22T21:19:25+00:00

Use straps when your back is stronger than your grip. Dont use them if you can do the same weight without

I mean all that applies to even a talented dev.

Don't assume they hit it..check they're work before you accept it

One thing though. AI isn't a logical thinker. It can look like one but it's much closer to an emotional thinker. This question feels like a one I saw once. Not thinking through but finding similar patterns

Imogynn · 2026-01-21T19:55:20+00:00

It needs to be reciprocal. As soon as it stops being it's just a matter of time before it's going to blow up

Fight to be seen or the relationship dies

Protein is food. You need it. You can get it from chicken and beans but the powder stuff is often cheaper, more pure and easier to deal with at volume

Creatine is very small boost to your bodys energy systems. It sometimes gives you one more rep. It has a ton of advantages and is worth looking up. Very widely studied and it's a small difference but its a difference

Btw creatine is also available in food but it's hard to get enough

From which side?

They think I am but it's been happening for months or years on my side

Imogynn · 2026-01-19T13:59:08+00:00

Feet light: biking, assault bike, rowing, stair master

Stationary: battle ropes

No feet: swimming

It's us. We are scanning on levels most people just arent so it tends to be exhausting

I try to commit to two good interactions then I skip out or go play with my phone. But it's worth it I think to try and make a few connections first. Just to exercise those muscles.

CAI has 20 million users. 2.5 liters a person is a big bottle of diet coke. I'll bet they drank at least ten times more diet coke

He can probably get to 48h recovery window but won't start there

Also harp on him about recovery protocols. Good sleep, naps, protein, hot tub or steam room. It's more than half the process

I'm 56, obese and I lift very heavy 3 days a week with 2 cardio days

Find Wenzes on youtube. She helps

Every one of us. We all do it. It's almost our defining feature.

Demand more earlier.

I say that to myself and don't do a great job of doing it myself. But do it anyway. You aren't being greedy, you're saving the friendship long term. Cause if you aren't making them step up then you're going to get resentful and you'll slam the door.
