exercising

one of my favorite things to do when exercising or treating myself is to make it look good.

not because anyone might be watching, but because I’m watching. I’m there, and aware of every thing in sight.

this can make a big difference when trying to find a zen place.

I get that some people don’t like minimalism (some associate it with politics), but for me, it’s a nice escape from the chaos going on in my life. having a place to go where you can find comfort in your surroundings and what you’re surrounding yourself with (yes - even the color of your workout gear), makes a difference.

they’re getting pretty fancy these days with marble looking dumbbells and weights if you’re into that sort of thing. worst case scenario - you could always use it as part of your home’s aesthetic.
