The fact that being at the gym makes my heart feel as good as my body does is something I just didn’t expect
I just hate the atmosphere in this country right now. It’s as though everyone’s default is anger and defensiveness. That seems like the opposite of what we want. The challenges we face is this world need some unity not all this division. It has really pulled me down in even a health and wellness sort of way. However, I am not going to cave into this negative sentiment. Instead I chose to find something really good and positive. Believe it or not, I found it at the local gym. The health and fitness center, of all places, has become a refuge for me. While there are certainly people there who a gruff and dispassionate, there are far more people in the gym that are kind and supportive. This is what I have been gravitating toward when I go to do my workout program and stay fit. I take several group fitness training classes at the gym. They are super beneficial from a results and motivational perspective. This is for sure. However, I get something more from them. I get a sense of unity because in those group fitness training classes, we are all pulling for each other. That is a feeling which has been deeply lacking in my day to day existence. I’m so thankful that I can at least find it at the gym. The fact that being at the gym makes my heart feel as good as my body does is something I just didn’t expect. I got this gym membership to fight the ease of being negative. And what I found was a community that is all about support and unity.
