The intention of the message is good, but it is dangerous if undiluted. In this era where everything is edited and we are under so much pressure to look perfect (ahem, social media 👀) everyone - all genders, all ages - needs that message to be HEAVILY balanced out. Gym is great, being fit is great. But it’s not better than being healthy, it’s not better than being happy, it’s not better than love, or than connection. It’s not better than being safe, than equal rights, than being informed about the world, than being a good human. It’s one ingredient, not the whole meal. It’s actually a rubbish two-dimensional message unless ur someone that makes money out of people being obsessed with their bodies. 🤔
Anyway, a morning rant and ramble which continued all the way to my gym session. Which I loved. Because I love the gym. But not more than life itself.
