It took me a lot of b.s. to finally start taking care of myself. I played sports growing up too, but fell into the grind, and alot of extremely self destruction behavior.

Once I decided to actually care for myself, it sparked a certain mindfulness in my own life and how I live it.

I started working out, playing pick up sports here and there, and gardening. I like to garden and do push ups/medicine ball etc in-between my tasks. I just feel good. I think feeling good goes a long way to being healthy, and alleviating stress, as well as the small unimportant things that tend to bother us when we are stagnant.

It's a process and a struggle, but worth it. Sometimes I'm lazy lol. But I'm trying to keep a lid on my complacency.

Luckily I've been blessed with decent health ftmp, but lately I been dealing with the onset of carpal tunnel and bad knees. So there's a balance I need to find.
