I’m writing this as I sit with my legs propped up, throbbing
in pain. You know you’re out of shape
when just a little bit of exercise makes your body hurt in places you didn't
know existed.
This is part of my new life policy.
How many times have you put off taking a shower until
morning? You know, it’s that time of day
when you’re ready to put on pajamas and watch Lord of the Rings or read Harry
Potter, and you’re all, “I didn't do anything today. I’m not dirty. I can shower in the morning.”
Now, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with showering in
the morning or that it makes you a dirty person. AM showers are marvelous.
However, I’m changing things up and making a new life policy:
Every day, do something that will make you think, “I really
need to shower” at the end of the day.
I’m not doing this because I have a problem showering. In fact, I switched to a different soap a
year ago that makes showering better than ever (1. Don’t judge me. 2. Dial w/moisturizer ftw! You’ll feel
wonderful.). I’m doing it because I have
a problem doing.
For more reasons than I care to think about at the moment,
I’ve basically been completely idle for a long ass time. It’s bad enough that it’s made me hella out
of shape and unhealthy, but it also just ain’t me, bro. How can I say I love hiking when climbing
stairs leaves me out of breath? I can’t.
And thus, my new policy was born. I think it’ll be good. Hopefully I’ll be back
on my work grind soon, so doing something that makes me feel like I need to
shower might mean speed walking to the capital a few times, but you’ve gotta
work with what you’ve got, right?
