RYMODE: this is how I do it

Comfort is the bait.

Facing uncomfortable truths about myself and the world, and integrating them.

What this is about

Mind leads to body. Body leads to mind.

Study the mind long enough and you end up at the body. Once you see the physical as one realm among many, it stops being something you just carry around. It starts to feel sacred. Even if you don’t go that far, the body is where your mortality lives, and a lot of your fear with it. It’s also how you show up: your presence, and what you bring to the people around you.It runs the other way too. Getting lean keeps pointing me back to my mind: habits, systems, behaviour, reverence.At 277 lb I set a goal: under 15% body fat by 50, for the first time. That’s one side of it. This channel is about the connection.

I haven’t solved any of this. I test what works on myself, share what helped and what didn’t, and change my mind when the evidence changes.
