>>1824134Instead of resorting to self harm like I used to in the past, I've been trying to work out every time I get the urge to. Maybe I'm just a masochist at heart - I think that the burning sensation in my muscles is a good enough substitute for my mind to focus on. I only do bodyweight exercises, in conjunction with my kickboxing lessons. I really enjoy the feeling of doing knuckle push ups on the hardwood floor.
That aside, I just want to look better, for myself. I like the idea of having an athletic appearance. And while this is a philosophy I really only apply to myself, I think that any proper communist should take care of themselves, mentally and physically, or at least make an effort to.
