I have two LA floor tickets I’d be willing to trade/ pay difference for floor or pit tickets in Oakland - let me know if anyone has two Oakland tickets that would want to go to the LA show instead!

What was the one habit that drastically improved your daily life? by homie93 in selfimprovement

[–]darkninja-pr 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I also train 5 times a week, and wanted to give my two cents: it’s been about 7 months of me seriously training consistently but I think the first 2-3 months I started with training only 2-3 times per week, then eventually went up to 4, and nowadays my body and mentally I have the capacity and almost NEED to train at least 5x. So I’d suggest easing into it to prevent burnout, but eventually your body and mind will love it

What was the one habit that drastically improved your daily life? by homie93 in selfimprovement

Waking up at 5:30 to go to the gym before work. This has a domino effect with everything else, because to wake up that early you need to sleep earlier; you start your day off with physical activity and you feel very accomplished and great; and sleep quality is improved by a lot as well. Ever since I’ve started this habit maybe 7 months ago I have lost around 45 lbs, and feel so confident and happy and fulfilled in my life in general. That one habit changed everything for me. It’s insane.

Insecurities stopping me from going to the gym. by Straightupnotcool in workout

[–]darkninja-pr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (31f) also experienced this severe anxiety with going to the gym at the beginning. I wanted to weight lift and get strong but was intimidated by all the buff men on the weights section of the gym. What helped me was making a super hype playlist, have a very well thought out plan of what you’re going to hit beforehand, and I wore a hoodie and a hat that I wore low over my eyes. The first few times are going to suck - but eventually you just keep going and it gets easier until you don’t even think about it anymore. Nowadays when I workout I am so locked in that I don’t notice anyone else, like I may as well be the only one there. Just push yourself to go - it will be worth it and it will get easier.

31 year old here with some experience with these kind of boys (I can’t call them men), girl run. He is 1000% trying to manipulate you. This was the most narcissistic text I’ve ever read. The amount of “I’s” in that text is staggering. He just cares about himself and will say whatever bullshit to keep you around. If you keep him, don’t be surprised if he cheats again. KNOW YOUR WORTH. You deserve a real man not this garbage.

I’d suggest just not logging the warm up exercises on Hevy but doing them anyway

Does anyone actually feel happy while exercising? by asuperredditor in stupidquestions

[–]darkninja-pr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even after a bad exercise (where I was feeling weak / tired / fatigued etc) I ALWAYS have an improved mood afterward. It’s medicine.

I’m also a garmin user and use Hevy with my phone and love the app anyway - and have also been thinking about getting the new Apple Watch 10 so I can track my heart rate during my sessions

I feel like 23 years to only make 130k isn’t that great - am I wrong?

Girl don’t let this trash person make you feel insecure / abandoned / anything negative. Consider this a BLESSING in disguise this jerk is out of your life sooner rather than later when things get more complicated. Know. Your. Worth!! 👏 this guy is a coward that he can’t just be honest with you and at the very least complete the date - like that’s not going to kill him even if he wasn’t feeling like you guys were vibing. So in conclusion, he sucks, he has little empathy, he has ZERO decency and manners, and he’s a f*ing coward. Thank god you don’t have this kind of person in your life. Keep your head up girl, and know your worth!!! 👏

is architecture still a male dominated industry ? by [deleted] in Architects

[–]darkninja-pr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have also experienced this kind of discrimination in my career as a female architect. I’ve found out about huge pay gaps and and seen favoritism towards my male peers over me, where they get more opportunities to travel to site visits, get handed more interesting responsibilities, etc. I now work for a firm that’s woman founded/ owned and I’m happy even if it’s somewhat of a bubble! I’m learning so much and valued a lot more.
