Those who know me well understand I'm a bit of an over thinker. That front part of my brain is generally a little to overactive. Add lack of sleep, a couple of spats with the wife and some caffeine and I'm pretty much on full mental overdrive. But really who in our modern day lives with instant information Internet access, fast food, complete bombardment of media advertisement isn't? It makes we feel as if we are spinning way to fast in a mind blender of sorts.
To me there is something self/mind liberating about working out. When I mean working out I do not mean a light cardio session on an elliptical. I mean a battle! I'm throwing heavy stuff around, jumping in the air, sprinting, climbing, pulling heavy things up from the earth and slamming them down again. Its about bringing out that primal part of myself and pitting it against gravity and it feels cathartic. All of a sudden those little things I had been obsessing about mean very little in the big picture.
Being physical is a major part of our genetic heritage. Are ancestors would have had to go through a "work out" everyday just to survive. That is a missing part of most of our lives and for me it is a hole that needs to be filled or I loose myself in it.
If you dont already have one I strongly recommend you find your primal playground.
