  • Usually, but there’s a lot of hard days. My main motivator is that I know I will always feel great after exercise. When I’ve done the regular gym sessions and jogging, I feel like I have the energy to do all the things I want and my brain feels 20% smarter. I’ve seen that some other people seem to function without exercise just fine, I don’t understand how. But I can’t…

    I mainly do just gym and jogging. Jogging is the easy one for me. I usually feel instantly good when I start my run and the barrier to go is low: keep running gear at hand and just go out of the door. There’s hardly ever any pain or unpleasantness. I’ve done this so long that my body sort of runs on its own. Or that’s what it feels like.

    Gym is harder. I’ve got some random pains in my muscles from doing it. Some pain is completely normal of course but I don’t really enjoy pushing my body when it hurts or if there’s a fear of some real injury. But it can be very pleasurable and motivating as well. On a good day, I feel strong and lifting feels good without pain. And there’s progress also.

    Anyway I’m quite excited about current progress at the gym. I genuinely feel better and more energized than before.

    But answers to question about how to feel good: Jogging: go regularly for 20+ years and it will feel nice almost all the time… Gym (weight lifting): i would like to know this myself, it seems there are some good days but a lot of bad days as well



  • This. Your peers in their 30s are generally easy to talk to and you can become friends in some terms quite easily but then finding time to just hang out or go somewhere seems to be so very hard. It helps me a lot to have some regular hobbies to have at least something going on socially.



  • I would not sing up for Meta run instance, but it is because I don’t really trust it will last. In a big corporate scheme of things, it is an experiment and can be killed anytime because it is really nobodys passion project to maintain. So I really doubt a Meta run instance will be better than a multitude of community run instances in the long run.

    But yeah, I’d sway for defederate. Meta is a corporation and it’s intentions are what they are. It’s not “fair” but also its not like Meta is comparable to another community in the fediverse.
