murder yoga solved all depression, situational sadness, & mental turmoil in my life.
I still experience those things, but I have a daily routine I’ve established over years that allows me to channel the unrest & loneliness into something productive. The routine changes over time, life still happens. But when I’m low, I know the solution, the proof of work & camaraderie are just one practice away.
Exercise, especially gym friends, will help you in ways medication never could. I went from heavily medicated, addicted, in & out of hospitals & jail as a directionless young man to a fit, sober, healthy, and happy person with principles and long term goals.
I don’t have insurance. I haven’t seen a doctor in years, and I’ve saved a lot of #Bitcoin by avoiding them. The pharma industry is incentivized to make victims of all of us and I’d rather bet on myself. I recognize this is not for everyone. I mention it only to reiterate that there are options outside of the well-commercialized path to health & fitness.
If you’re struggling, it can be extremely uncomfortable to make any leap. In the very beginning, I spent hours sitting in my car outside of a small boxing gym, smoking cigarettes & trying to drum up courage to go in.
The answer is not jiu jitsu for all. It’s follow your health & fitness curiosities, whatever they may be, and set goals. Iterate & improve but be consistent over everything. Maybe it’s just walking 10k steps a day at first. Start anywhere.
