How 365 Days of Exercise Has Changed What I Think of My Body
More than just being “fit,” working out daily has helped me achieve good physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Hello dear friend,
I gave up Sattriya (An Indian classical dance form from Assam) when I was 8, because the exams required me to write in Assamese, and I wasn’t so familiar with the language in my childhood.
I gave up Taekwondo classes when I was 16 to prepare for my board exams.
In college, I started running, but I gave that up too, when the pandemic hit in 2020.
All my life, my relationship with exercise has been tenuous.
I start a workout form, enjoy it immensely, but before I can make it a part of my life, something happens, and I have to give it up.
Only over the past year, when I got settled into the solopreneur life and started owning my time, did I have the luxury to devote time and attention to daily workouts.
I started pole dancing, then went to the gym to get better at it, and have since made fitness a part of my life. This post comes as a set of reflections after 365 days of consistent exercise.
I wanted to document my journey and show how exercise has changed my relationship with myself. Let me take you along on this ride in the hopes that within my words, you might find the spark to start your own fitness journey.
