Productive Habits Will Always Outlast Temporary Ass Feelings!

“My body is its own coffee machine of sorts. The potential to make more money, sculpt the body of my dreams, travel, and love my life with no regrets will always energize me without any external stimulants.”

It is midnight. I was watching a YouTube video when my body suddenly began to feel hot. I knew what I had to do in order to remedy this. I have known this feeling all too well.

It was my body itching for me to exercise. At fucking midnight. And like a bat signal I usually answer the call, no matter the time.

It may seem strange to suddenly get the urge to sweat after you’ve showered and cozied up in bed to relax, but this habit of mine isn’t the result of an exercise addiction. I learned this from my parents.

Growing up, my dad used to walk into the room where my brother and I were watching cartoons. And he would pick up the remote and turn off the TV.

Both of us kids would moan and groan, because we knew what was coming next. My father had three primary options to choose from as a response to our irritation.

“Go outside and ride your bikes.”

“You two need to exercise.”

“Go find something productive to do.”
