As we get older, we tend to settle into more comfortable with familiar thoughts and habits, which can make us more hesitant or resistant to change.
A few month ago, I had a blood test at the hospital, and the results weren’t very encouraging. The doctor strongly urged me to exercise, explaining that it would significantly increase the chances of the numbers returning to a healthy range.
Those results were, in a way, to be expected. Over the three years of COVID, I spent most of my time at home, grew used to that routine, and gradually fell into the habit of avoiding exercise, choosing comfort and convenience instead.
I took the doctor’s advice, I began exercising under the supervision of a fitness trainer to ensure I did it safely. At first, I really didn’t want to do it, but as time went on, I started to adjust and noticed subtle changes in my body. I also began to realize that I was gradually becoming healthier.

At the same time, my passive attitude and mindset began to towards a more active and self-directed approach. Exercise wasn’t just changing my body; it was also transforming my mental state. It helped lift me out of a rather lethargic mindset, allowing me to think and act with more intention and purpose.
The change has been gradual, but it is still progressing.
