Pulling Sweat Angels on the gym floor made me write better content
JYM lesson about writing
My body feels like a trainwreck.
Every single muscle and joint feels like it has been drenched in sulfuric acid for 2+ hours.
But I love it.
So 2 days ago I went to a group calisthenics workout.
Before the workout, we were asked to split up into 3 groups:
Beginners
Intermediate
Advanced
Being the cocky mf I am…
I sprinted to the advanced group without a second thought.
Mind you, these guys were gymnasts and former calisthenics pros. And there I was amongst them (I’ve never hit an actual calisthenics workout before).
Well…
2 hours later I’m soaked in sweat spread out on the floor hitting Sweat Angels…
I was f*cked.
But I was smiling like a 2-year-old kid in a candy shop. It felt f*cking amazing!
Now why am I telling you about this?
See, my young grasshopper…
I’ve been to the gym twice in my life. For real.
I don’t want to toot my own horn, but if you saw my physique you’d think I was bullshitting you.
But it’s true.
I’ve been hitting home workouts with dumbbells and a pull-up bar for 2 years straight.
(Btw. can I get some respect for that? Nobody held me accountable and I still never missed a workout! Anyways…)
But for the past 2 months or so I’ve been in a workout slump.
I didn’t enjoy my workouts anymore…
It had become like clockwork: Warm up, work out, go on with the rest of my day. Same ole…
But that evening (when I was doing pull-up competitions against pro gymnasts - which I obviously lost) re-sparked the fire inside of me.
I’m more motivated than ever to get good at calisthenics.
But how does this relate to writing?
Well, I haven’t only experienced workout slumps…
I’ve also had my fair share of writing slumps…
But currently, I’m motivated as f*ck to write banging content for you lovely lot (hopefully it reflects in the quality).
What changed?
I broke out of my routine.
See, I was doing the equivalent of hitting the same home workout over and over again for 2 years.
And it got boring. Super boring.
So…
I made a change.
I took my laptop to a coffee shop and wrote there (instead of my boring ole desk).
I even wrote on the bus (my secret weapon).
But it’s a lot simpler.
Even small things like changing the font in Google Docs have made a bigger difference than you can imagine. (I used “Lora” for this one)
Our brain needs new stimuli to be creative.
If you’re like me…
And you’ve been a little too boneheaded with your routine…
You should consider breaking out of it.
Write in novel environments
Write at different times of day
Change the typeface in Google Docs
Just don’t get stuck in monotony.
I promise you won’t only enjoy writing more…
You’ll also get better results from it.
