This Present Moment

Alright so what i was rambling about that just kinda came up:

Present time is where the good stuff happens

Like if something sucks it doesn’t really have to suck - it’s mostly the thinking about it that sucks, right

Like if you’re in a really long iso, that specific moment - the place that you’re at right then and there, that one millisecond, isn’t really that bad

It’s more the layering on top of it of like how well i have x amount of time and it’s to keep feeling like bleh for awhile and then after that it’s going to fail and then i have the next exercise and then i have homework and etc etc etc

But in that moment i was like if all that is just dropped

And i just look at and view myself, this is literally the only thing that i can do right now

I can’t do anything else

There is no message i can respond to right now. There is not conversation i can have right now. There is not post i can make right now

The only thing i can do is simply stand here on this box and be with my lovely hamstring as i hold this weight up

And really that’s not that bad

It’s actually pretty good

Cause it like releases this energy that was caught up in oh have to do that and this

And I’ve noticed this a bit, just like bringing it back to my awareness as i move through my day as well

If I’m making food I’ll literally be like look at the little pieces of ground beef - do you see the beef there, see that you’re actually making food right now and there’s nothing else that you can do right now

That’s it

Thinking about whatever just sucks energy and makes you heavier

And so then it can get to be like this crescendo

Where you crave more and more and more of just being there, in present time

And then you realize that’s what actually works best anyway

Trying to think about things and bring them about like a force mechanism, just makes it harder cause that’s like a resistance

But if you just simply be where you are and do what you’re doing, then you get out of the way and what is supposed to happen will happen

So i don’t know

That’s what been happening

And specifically in the video it was like oh life doesn’t have to be like hell

Also. - nasty move for the hammy - I’m gonna guess you’ll cramp at least a little when or if you first try it lol
