Similarly, just showing up at the gym/hobby/sport is huge. Even if you do next to nothing.

- Insanity 8mo agoYeah I go bouldering even on off days to “stay in the rhythm”. And I do have honestly terrible days where I feel I’m struggling climbs of even a grade below my comfort level, but at least I went lol.
- renjimen 8mo agoHow do you stay injury free climbing every day? I feel like at even twice week I am entering the danger zone with ligamentisis.
- HalfCrimp 8mo agoI suspect they mean "days that I deal off" rather than "every day". Even elite climbers struggle with ligament issues climbing every single day
- irishcoffee 8mo agoSomeone said it, I forget who: 90% of life is just showing up
- idontwantthis 8mo agoEspecially true for friendship. If you want friends, all you have to do is be in the same place with the same people regularly.
- irishcoffee 8mo agoI think I recognize your handle, and I’m not sure we agree on much, but because of your comment I’m seeing a friend I haven’t seen in a decade. I sincerely thank you for the nudge.
- idontwantthis 8mo agoI'm glad I could help! Do you mean you recognize my handle from previous interactions on here or in another setting? I haven't used this one anywhere else.
- irishcoffee 8mo agoJust here. I’m not a prolific World Wide Web traveler.
- tonyedgecombe 8mo agoI think it was Woody Allen.
- pavel_lishin 8mo agoThe best form of exercise is the one you can consistently stick with. For me, that got shot down in flames over the winter because I kept getting sick. :/
- david927 8mo agoI didn't go to the gym a single day for November and December and it was heart-breaking when I started again in January how much I had set back. But slowly I got back to a good rate again. A week ago someone asked why I was going to the gym that evening and I said, "Because it will make going tomorrow so much easier." Start again.
- lostlogin 8mo agoI’m cycled almost ever day for a few years them took a 6 week holiday where we walked 15-20k steps per day. I thought that I’d be ok when I got back on the bike. I was not ok.
- tom1337 8mo agoa stranger i once talked to at the gym told me "every workout is better than the workout you are not doing" and that kinda changed my perspective on that topic.
- bonestamp2 8mo agoAtomic Habits is a great book for little things like this that make a big difference when compounded with time.
- Nevermark 8mo agoI imagine reading a book about habits every day for a year would be life changing. :)
