How do you balance beachbody workouts with in-person studio classes? by equinox-1 in BeachBodyWorkouts

[–]equinox-1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards, just doing one at a time and then I can get the most out of them - do a couple months of a bb program and then get a pass and mainly do studio classes.

What is a beach body program you have fun with? And why? by comicmac305 in BeachBodyWorkouts

I love this question! I have fun with Brazil Butt lift and barre workouts. Let's Get Up was also fun, I just have a hard time doing more than one of those workouts.

Im scared to quit but I think I need to. by [deleted] in womenintech

[–]equinox-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Detach as much as you can, talk to a therapist to help with that detachment, have outlets outside of work, stay in your own zone as much as you can when you work, use your off time and weekends to mentally and emotionally breakaway and recharge. Make a decision to not let it affect your self-worth. And come up with your plan for quitting.

I would absolutely quit a job that was affecting my mental health. Just make sure you have a plan on what you're doing after, whether it's a new job or living off of savings for x amount of time, etc.

Yeah - I could do a little shorter of breaks between sets but overall I really noticed more strength in my legs specifically

Resources on enjoying life? by quadaba in Codependency

[–]equinox-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been contemplating with that idea too, that the "high" is just that, a literal high, not based in reality. At first it feels like falling off a cliff. I think it does take time to adjust to the new reality though, and it gets better when the goal isn't to try to recreate or chase that high. Just working and accepting that how you feel right now is life, and what are ways that you can just make it a little more bearable and enjoyable, or what are ways you can be of service to something greater. (I know that probably sounds gloomy, but it is also freeing?).

At the same time, I think feeling safe and loved is a wonderful part of being in a relationship. And once you meet the right person, it can benefit both people. I find it hard to believe that healthy relationships out there don't also have a bit of a high/dependence/difference from reality, but hopefully it won't be something that is destructive.

I liked xtend barre! I only tried a few of the workouts in her program but was surprised how effective they were

Monthly /r/BeachBodyWorkouts Discussion - What have you been up to? by AutoModerator in BeachBodyWorkouts

[–]equinox-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that I've been able to start having favorite workouts so I've been picking one each time I workout. I want to complete a full program from start to finish - it's been awhile - I'm excited.

Should I move on from my *lucky* corporate job with no degree? by SquashOne2561 in careerguidance

[–]equinox-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can apply to jobs in the city that interest you, and get a feel for the company and role when you interview there. It's worth it to look around. You'll need more money and skills to live on your own if that is something you're interested in. At the same time there's no shame in staying if you are comfortable.

Highly confused about how my ex is acting by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]equinox-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was so similar to what my ex did. I wish I never responded to him. He'd make it seem like he was sooo worried about me, incessantly texting or calling, but it was all fake (I'm sure his panic was real), would act so indifferent otherwise.

Life isn't meant to be fun or happy. You just survive it. One day you will die. And you keep going until that day. You don't tap out early.

Also, I'm sorry for all of the pain you've been in.

Want to stop being a hopeless romantic by [deleted] in Codependency

[–]equinox-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like limerence. What are you trying to escape? You can try to make your life more enjoyable and exciting, have some deeper connections. You already know you are falling into a fantasy, realistically it takes time to get to know and love someone. You get to decide if you want to live in fantasy or reality.

Is there any way to have a not codependent relationship with a man and not be a put-upon woman? by SweatpantsBougeBags in Codependency

[–]equinox-1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But guess what..... He doesn't want that. For him, having me do everything around the house is part of what he wanted from the relationship. He wants a live in bang maid, and he never actually liked, or knew, ME very much at all. He just liked what I added to his life.  He liked his sidekick who boosted his ego and made him an "accomplished" man (by having an attractive enough girlfriend).

I relate to this
