Dormant Volcano

Most of us want to go gym. But, only a few can make it. And, in that very few go regularly. As we know, before we work out our body, we need to work out our mind, which is very difficult. I also had had many futile attempts to go to Gym. But, the current streak is by far the best. I would attribute it to one small change in the execution. Normally, I pursue gym in the evening. But this time I tried morning.

In my experience, morning gym is better than evening. My past evening attempts didn't work out due to- body had worn-out by the time I start and mind supported the fact. Finally, the synergy effect of body and mind pulled me down. On the contrary, morning is better for two reasons -body is fresh, a quick warm up can help me get on my feet and mind is like an unarmed enemy, the right moment to conquer it.

Again, going in the morning is not as easy as it sounds. There were two things, which I couldn't compromise in life for a long time -morning sleep and bed coffee (without brushing teeth - for some ignorant souls). However, I had to give up the later when I left the fairy place called "home". My mind didn't put much battle against me, since it knew there was no alternative.

Nevertheless, it was not an easy task with morning sleep. I had to rage a furious battle against my mind for years. Though I seem to win the battle for now. Still, it is like a dormant volcano trying to erupt anytime. The only way to succeed is to accept there exist the volcano and making it dormant forever.

Note: Scientific studies argue that an action performed for 21 days regularly, becomes part of our habit. The reason I am writing this story is because I went past that mark yesterday.
