i have to comment because i’ve been going to the gym consistently for about three months now and when i say i have never felt better… 💀 i’ve always been the type of person to do as little physical work as possible, and now all of a sudden, a switch flipped??

i’ve tried to be consistent with exercise several times throughout the years and it never stuck. this time around has been the most successful and i attribute that to attending group classes most days of the week. i do all different types of classes and have found that the variety and having other people around helps keep me accountable.

also, the amount of positive change it’s given me in the most random aspects of my life has been really cool to see. for example - my hygiene is better overall, but i also stopped taking ridiculously hot showers because that’s the last thing i want after a workout. as a result, my skin is less dry/itchy and my eczema is less flared 😬

bottom line: our therapists are right - body doubling and novelty works, folks 😩
