This is a sibling piece to When in doubt, help out.
It’s a recommended response to the sense of ennui and dissatisfaction that can strike over a weekend. When we start listlessly wandering from room to room just looking for novelty, entertainment or food. Mindless grazing or doomscrolling.
Work out. Now.
Go for a walk, a run, a ride. Go to the gym, the park, the pool. Do yoga, do burpees, do pushups. Whatever you do, move your body immediately and don’t stop until something overtakes the ennui.
It will happen and it won’t take long.
It’s hard to feel listless after 15 burpees.
Physical activity changes our body chemistry, quickly.
When we feel that creeping sense of dissatisfaction- don’t wait for permission, or opening hours or the rain to stop. Just drop and give me 20.
