Our culture is an obsessive one.
Thanks to the internet, and the core need for validation gifted to us by human nature– we’ve got a billion dollar industry showing you why you’re not good enough and how to self-improve.
And for all of you type A personalities, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Routines, Habits, Diets, Etc.
When is it ever enough?
Here’s my morning ritual to become a millionaire……. huh?
I think it’s mostly self-destructive, and before you spin it in a positive way like “yeah bro– you’re destroying the old self” hear me out.
Here’s my routine– I wake up at 4am (if not earlier), go workout, race back home, eat my protein oatmeal, write, meditate, read. Then end the day with Muay Thai (a new edition to my life).
Well, that’s just discipline, whats wrong with it?
No. It isn’t.
See, where its all fucked up is regardless of how I feel, sleep-deprived, sick, whatever- I show TF up.
I notice small changes in my body (can’t lose my six-pack), I obsess over progress, as soon as I start a new habit– anyone who’s not on that shit I judge, and see as detrimental to my life.
“Oh, you don’t study stoicism? Emotional loser.”
It isn’t right. None of this.
The whole point of these habits are to make you healthier, but I think for a lot of us its gone so far, we’re actually making ourselves sick.
I’m not going to kill off my habits.
I’m going to pull back.
I’m still going to train muay thai, but I don’t need to lift weights every single morning. If I miss a day- it’s okay.
You need to relax and listen to your body.
I don’t like this advice either, but I’m tired of being a progress zombie.
