My first advice is this: stop focusing on what you can’t do, and view those things as goals to work towards by doing the beginner stuff first. If you can’t do a full push up, start on your knees or on the wall or more elevated. If you can’t do a certain yoga move ask for a less advanced version to do until you build the strength, balance, and coordination to do the advanced version. 

I’ll use my experience training in Martial Arts (specifically Capoeira) as examples. In Capoeira there are a lot of very acrobatic moves that take years to learn how to do; such as doing a handstand and walking on your hands, or cartwheels with no hands, flying kicks, that sort of thing. It’s amazing to see the more experienced Capoeiristas do these moves because I know it took them years of dedicated training to do them; I view it as a peak into my future, but one I will only earn if I stick to training Capoeira and practice the less advanced versions of the moves I want to do someday. 

It’s the same thing with any exercise. You EARN doing the advanced stuff by putting in the work and time and effort on the less advanced/beginner versions of the stuff that is more commonly seen in exercise. 

What also might help you is to sign up for beginner fitness classes that can help teach you proper form and how to use the equipment, as well as allowing you to experiment and see what you do and don’t like. You might also try different Martial Arts styles or dance styles by trying out their beginner courses. It’s about finding what you like and what works for you in terms of your lifestyle. 

@warriormale any more advice? 

50%! That’s a lot! I’m including what my buddy said in his post on FB:

“...We want to make a difference on this earth. We can't stand by while our brothers and sisters are being treated unfairly. We are choosing to donate 50% of our profits from this fundraiser to the Black Lives Matter organization because we truly believe that change needs to happen and it starts with all of us doing what we can to make a difference.”

So please, go check them out and support this very worthy cause.

He posted this one recently 

I almost romanced Anders on my first playthrough, but I wanted to be all “I kind of like you” and Hawke goes straight to “I WOULD DIE WITHOUT YOU” and I was like um NO - i reloaded the game and refused to romance him. But then you have to be rude! I’m glad i did but still.

he doesn’t flirt with you at all if you continuously pick the purple options which is great because i love purple hawke to death lmao

show us a picture of your handwriting?

alas, this is not the handwriting that got me complimented as a child... my first cherished compliment 🥺 oh well

(it says "maybe time running out is a gift..." which is a quote from the song if we were vampires by chester see, currently on repeat. also yes, i did put a pretentious filter on this photo)

tell a story about your childhood

the first time i saw a mouse in real life, i hadn't learned that 'freeze' was also a response to being scared, so after realizing that i'd frozen in surprise, internally i went oh right, you're supposed to scream when you see mice, right? and forced myself to yell

what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been too scared to do?

pRules: Find the assigned words in your current WIP(s), then pick 4 new words and tag some peeps to find them.

I got tagged twice so I’m going to do this all at once

my words from @miceenscene : eyes, quiet, alone, thank

my words from @kelenloth : knees, cold, must, fell

eyes: There across the room was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. Entirely blue and wearing a silver dress that sparkled with the light of the room this woman said something to another Asari before returning to the pair of humans in front of her. There was something about the light in her eyes, the curve of her lips, the way that her dress caressed her-

quiet: An hour passed. Quiet, unyielding. The drunkenness of camp started to die down as cadets were finally hauled back to bunks. Having lived primarily with the 141 Rafael wasn’t used to how all the adults behaved. Being around people whose had actually seen battle was different then the small unit of teens that had been his family since they were children.

alone: He unlocked the door and she was impressed to see it wasn’t the trash heap indicative of a single man living alone. It was lived in but there was some light decorations. This was a man who knew what he wanted.

thank: “Thank you for your hospitality Mr. Vakarian. Especially given you weren’t expecting company.” Liara held her hands to the fire hoping to soak up its warmth. The iciness in her voice melting by the lapping flames.

knees:  He put one hand on her shoulder and pushed her down. She braced at the last second before she fell to her knees proper. “If you think this is about you, you have vastly misunderstood what’s happening here.” He looked at her quizzically, obviously unused to giving up control.

cold: A turian in this level of cold couldn’t be comfortable. Liara glibly followed suit and made her way to sit by the fire. She still was unsure about this Garrus and his impeccable aim.

must: “Where’s your sense of adventure?” “Must’ve left it on my dresser with my diary and my will to live because I’m still coming.” Joker picked up the speed as he made his way to the airport.

fell: “Whitney, you might be the smartest person I’ve ever met.” He looked at her so earnestly that for just a moment her annoyance fell away. Something in his eyes was so genuine that it seemed to pull at the inside of her.

dude these are SO GOOD! I love them all. what program was this made on?
