As a fitness enthusiast, I wanted to speak on something I’ve been blessed to recently become entranced in: Meditation. My focus for years has always been MORE reps, MORE sets, HARDER contractions with AGGRESSIVE music BLASTING in my headphones… do we ever get a chance to let ourselves be still? What started as taking a moment to rest after a run in the trails has become an integral part of my morning routine. I am enabled to 🧠Allow my thoughts to completely settle as opposed to bang against the inside of my cranium. 🫁Encourage the air to gently fill my lungs and oxygenate my tissues, rather than gasp for extra O2 despite having gone completely anaerobic. 🫀Feel my heart pumping blood which causes a gentle reverberation down in my fingertips and toes instead of doing jumping jacks in my ribcage while redlined on caffeine. This dichotomous pace change of workout into meditation, while in nature, has been an enlightening practice- healing and expanding my body and mind. 🧘‍♂️

We want to agree with people that we like. Let that sit for a moment. We are all an amalgamation of our thoughts, interests, actions, etc. So when we meet someone in one of these niches, we look for common ground as quickly as possible. This can be great in the short term, but what if your thinking evolves (and I would hope it does) and you no longer view the world through the same lens? This solution for developing relationships is barbed, it almost feels like the relationship is contingent on the thorny hooks of past similarities- similarities that emerged from younger you's. The best way to remedy this is to cherish our individuality and our differences. Could you imagine agreeing with someone 100% of the time? That would be the most boring relationship ever- at this point you can just train an LLM to agree with you on everything if that's what you want. But it's not what we want. We want to feel, we want to experience, so let's lean into our individuality instead of hiding it away.
