I’m sick of the Gym

MercuryWisdom1 min to read

Hey brothers and sisters.
I used to afore the gym and I still do. However the gym and weightlifting culture is so fucking shit.

I feel that it’s toxic, built on body dysmorphia, and depressive.

I’ve been feeling inadequate for a long time no matter how much I actually progress and improve.

Every time I enter the gym I feel everyone is judging everyone on the amount of meat they’re packing.

Everything seems to push you to take steroids or “tren” that’s been so fucking popularized.

All the physiques are so fucking huge, lean and enhanced.

I’ve been feeling I wanted to distance myself from all this BS I was looking up calisthenics and maybe doing some Yoga too for athleticism.

I’m not sure though on which path to take.

I want to look great, build up to a “Greek God” build but also I want to be strong and healthy and happy and flexible enough to have a strong Kundalini.

What do you guys think about all this? Any tips?

Most people our age are extremely insecure, that's why they do these things. Exit the "need to compare to others" and you will live very happy.

I believe it’s not very healthy to overthink it like you do.

Unless you have a very close relationship with someone (connected at the throat or heart chakra level) you will never get highly affected by random people or negative energies unless you’re in a church, mosque, or morgue for example.

Also, remember when you think about something you give it power, you make it true and you amplify it if you don’t give it much thought it withers away.

I am kind of highly empathic, I mean I am always affected by environments at a certain degree. I am working on understanding why this happens, it is not that evident in my natal chart (as far as I can see) so you are probably right I tend to overthink about what is surrounding me.

Also, remember when you think about something you give it power, you make it true and you amplify it if you don’t give it much thought it withers away.

If you believe that entering the gym will make you get into a cesspool of negative energies and NPCs, etc. that doesn’t seem ideal to me and will probably give you issues. Psychological and spiritual.

You are right here. But unfortunately energies from the "commons" are very negative, so crowded places are not ideal for me. I also think it depends where you live; I don't want to go personal and disclose where I live but I found countries where interactions with NPCs are better and bearable, and countries where being in the middle of people is awful in terms of energies.

I think that I might have not clarified the reason that I wrote this thread very well.

The main reason I was actually triggered to write this, my friend was in GREAT shape after lifting heavy for years and taking care of his diet. Yet, he still wasn’t satisfied he recently started taking steroids, and he’s 19 or something.

I felt bad about this, honestly I think why he did this is psychological and it will end badly for him, it bothers me he feels like he had to take them just to feel good about himself, when he has a body of many peoples dreams and he is so young too.

I think this is due to the modern trend "you need to be the best and get the maximum for you" so people do not want to be average or better than average or simply better themselves, they want to be the best in the world so probably they take steroids in this hope. I have been living years with that (hidden, at the time) idea in my unconscious and it's very unhealthy, even if, it can be an inner engine to move ahead in things.

Comparing yourself to others will destroy your inner confidence. I've been working out for years and I've started to build a very good physique naturally. I don't go to a gym I workout at home and I've just kept up with a daily routine of lifting and its been paying off.

I think this thread is slipping into confidence and self-esteem analysis, that at the end is also of Mars, like is of Mars weigh lifting so all is connected.
Comparing to others is mostly unhealthy in view of how social networks and general mindset brought people to behave. But is a bit unavoidable, somehow, or am I just in error here ??

The main problem here is that non-spiritual people only work on a material level and that makes them impatient and look for quick results without caring about the long-term consequences.
Then after years when they are forced to stop taking steroids due to health problems they lose all the muscle mass they gained that way and end up with their physical condition and health ruined.

Training the body is exactly the same as meditation: a philosophy of life, not a car race.
