Thanks Tobias, agreed with everything you said.

Focus on what you love doing and fitness should compliment it, not replace it.

I’ve been thinking about this for the past few weeks. The initial reason I started getting into fitness in the first place was to relieve stress, help my depression and get two hours to myself since I was a stay at home dad for three years. But seems like during this past year I’ve been obsessing over it a bit too much. Obsessed with hitting numbers. Only doing compound movements. And I’ve been at the point where all I watch while taking a dump is YouTube fitness channels. I was allowing MyFitness Pal to take over my life. Logging every crumb of my 3 year old daughter’s leftover PB&J she wouldn’t finish that I ate.
I’m in the process of snapping out of it. Refocus on what really matters to me which is my art career. I’m starting to drop the heavy weights and am focusing on more bodyweight training. Also trying to place more interest in running as it is something my wife really enjoys, and I’d like to join her for a half marathon at some point. Plus, the heavy weights are starting to take a toll on my joints. I literally have soreness or some sort of pinch or pain on a daily basis. I’m over it. Need to get back to who I really am, an artist who simply uses fitness to stay healthy and motivated in other areas of life. I’ll never go on stage, I’ll never compete for strength and I most definitely do not Paleo.
So here I officially declare that I’m joining the NFL (ah shit, that’s taken), ok, Non-fitness lifestyle.

Yes but improving patience and observation are still outcome oriented goals. It would be better if u legitimately enjoyed archery.

I appreciate number 7 the most (WHY). I have found that everything I have tried without a stable why attached to it dies off pretty quickly and can even leave a mess. The good part is that it got me to dig deeper for better reasons for doing something-and thinking it through.

I have a question; My goal is to learn archery. Why? To teach myself patience and further my observational skills. Do you think these are stable reasons to learn archery? Your opinion is appreciated.

Thanks again for the always insightful and entertaining articles,

-James

Once again you have said everything floating around my head but don’t have the time with 2 littles to write down in aNY form that would make sense to others. I have recently resolved to stop following the trends and having tunnel vision as to needing to be perfect. Over it.

A lot of what you say is what I tell myself or try to all the time. It’s great reinforcement and support to have. It’s easy to get boxed into a type or whatever and it’s and not to have a good time on a Saturday night. So having these two warring factions I my head used to be murder. Now I can just laughed it off and focus on living instead of living for an ideal or perfect type of myself.

I feel as if people constantly change their workout program because they are aspiring to be like others and not aspiring to be the best them. Unfortunately the latest program or trend is a lot more marketable than hard work and consistency.

Keith,

I’m a Business student about to graduate in marketing in April 2016. Huge passion for fitness and helping others, if there is anyway I can help your business please reach out.

Regards,
Zach
