No one is denying anything. It's just a question of whether you get up to fight or give up and die. That's the part that's in your power, and taking care of your body is the first step toward getting up to fight.
It really is, but i only understood after i started taking care of my body.
As stupid as "taking care of the body" sounds, our body is an organic machine. It only works correctly, if properly maintained. Learning how to listen to the body and giving it what it needs, releases lots of dopamine. You end up learning to enjoy more single moments, moments without anxiety, stress or fear.
But the clearness of mind also lets you see that the situation is actually worse than perceived before, the world is fucked and as the years pass by, it seems that there's a global effort to fuck of it as fast as possible.
Start out with small steps, like 20 minutes a day, 20 minutes is nothing. But 20 minutes being conscious of your movements, breathing and focusing, means a lot for your health and mind.
The important thing is to shake that booty until the spirit is high.
