Hello Friends
Chest has always been my favorite muscle group to train. Not going to lie, I have always been jealous of the dudes at the gym with the chiseled chests. I feel one of my biggest challenges for strength and body growth is that I don't eat enough. I have been struggling with this for a VERY long time. It has become something I have just accepted. I think the network of signals from my stomach telling my brain I'm hungry is all fucked up. So I just focus on staying consistent with workouts and live with the results.
“If we can open ourselves, allow ourselves to feel whatever it is without reaction in our mind, then there is no problem. We are fully present for whatever appears without the unwholesome karmic factors of greed, hatred, or ignorance. Thereby we create the conditions for our happiness.”
Insight Meditation: A Psychology of Freedom
By Joseph Goldstein
This book is chock full of...well..insights. I have also struggled a lot with opening up. I will never forget one day a good friend of mine came over and said something along the lines of "Jesus, let some fucking light in"- as he went over to the windows in my house and opened up the blinds. It was such a great metaphor at the time, and was quite eye opening. I know most of these struggles stem from a core of networks developed from very early childhood with "unworthiness"- and while I am blessed to have found these insights in my journey, It is still very hard to restructure the networks. But I will never give up on that.
Keep on Keeping on friends!
