The Avid Lifter's Post-COVID Return to the Iron
PUSH DAY 2 After the first half of week 2, time to wrap back around and hit push day 2. I enjoy this day, as it's less conventional and I give myself a little freedom. In general, I'll start with floor press, but this lift is more effective at higher weights, so I think I'll switch it to incline bench for the week. I may go back and forth, as both help overall push strength significantly. I went up to 155 pounds for 6 reps, but think I could do as much as 175 for 6 reps. Happy where that stands. From there, I went to standing strict press. I'd like to at least lift my bodyweight over my head, but I'm a way off from that at the moment. Next, I worked in some slow dips, making the last 3 or 4 reps on each set torture. Side raises and fly's for accessory, then finished with tri work. Made it extra tough on my arms today, brutal. But if you don't love that, stay out of the gym.

Welcome to my heartbreak
What other words can describe what I feel, what I felt when you told me it was over. My whole world collapsed with your words, your kisses, and your touch. I deeply felt that my world was ending because of you, Maria. I put everything in this; my future, my life, my heart.

Magic Is All Around, For Those Who Believe. Top Story - March 2021.
It was fortunate that I was walking that day with a defeated posture. Had I been looking up instead of down, I probably would have walked past it, dismissing it as so many had me, as it crunched, unnoticed and unappreciated, under the heel of my shoe. There I was, head down, eyes averted in every effort to avoid human contact, lurching through the park on my way home from yet another devastating job interview- and there it was, shining benignly up at me, faded black leather with a ringed binding.

Why You Should Be Listening to this Podcast While You're Focusing to Get the Most out of Your Brain Power
I make quite a few playlists tailored for working and studying. I spend a pretty big portion of my time either studying for my classes, reading for my classes, creating work for my side projects, or otherwise needing a headspace where I can dig into my work, and focus on what matters.

How to improve your creativity and problem solving
Creativity is something new, something that does not exist before, and it can affect the whole world, not just one person, and positively. If we look at the definition of creativity, we will find that it can use imagination to create new ideas and objects.

How To Overcome Your Own Drama And Find Hope Again
I keep hearing people repeating constantly how life is hard, and complaining about their struggles and problems in life. I completely agree that one should NOT suppress their emotions, but work through them, express and process them. Pretending everything is well and saying affirmations without this process is not going to do the trick. It might help trick the brain into being happy, but to truly shift from the darkness you need to look at the issue, work through it, and YES, you need to let it go. It may take a while, but it is essential if you want to change your situation.

4 Cornerstones to Foster Creativity and Remember Your Spark
A majority of us are locked into a world of routine. As we slot away our work hours and worry about what each day brings, we decide to give up a part of ourselves in the process. It's quite demoralizing and can lead to somewhat of a dull gray mental space; each day blends into the next, and the novelty and wonder of life we remember from our youth fades away. Eventually, holding onto any spark of creativity or meaning becomes difficult as we sink into an ocean of expectations and anxieties.
