There just seems to be so much anger right now.
It’s as though everyone’s default approach is negativity and defensiveness. I don’t know how much the social climate has to do with that. Or perhaps this has been building for years and I just didn’t want to see it. It has really dragged me down both emotionally and in a health and wellness sense. But instead of riding that anchor to the bottom, I did something about it. I chose to find some positivity from within and ended up discovering such a welcoming environment. This all happened because I decided to get a gym membership. It was not a knee jerk reaction as most gym memberships have been in the past. No, this time I didn’t join a local gym because I felt fat from the holidays. This time, I sought out a gym membership in a place that is dedicated to health and wellness. It took me a few weeks to find what I was looking for. But, the effort has paid off incredibly. The people at the health and fitness center that I go to are just happier. I don’t know exactly how to quantify that statement other than to let it stand on its own. In all the group fitness training classes I attend, people are smiling. They are welcoming and they are kind. I can’t tell you what a difference this has made in my life. Not only am I rededicated to looking after my personal health and fitness, I feel I found a home as well.
