My general rule is that I don’t want to bother women if they are working out, so unless they talk to me first or give me a very clear sign that they want to talk, I leave them alone and just focus on my workout.

Not if headphones are in. I was in a class years ago and this really attractive tattooed chick clearly waited at the door to chat. She was 10x better than me so I didn’t want to speak to her outta shame. I still think about it. She said something and I went “you were really good” then she said “oh so we’re you I thought you did great and kept me pushing” 😭

Nope. I say good morning to the front desk person since it’s usually the same one or two people there, but that’s it. I’m not at the gym to chitchat.

When I used to go to a more specialized gym, everyone would socialize to some degree.

One of the things that my ADD coach helped me with was realizing that I wasn’t prioritizing activities that help me feel recharged. Between work and home responsibilities, I was just burnt out and overwhelmed.

So now when I start to get burned out I focus on reducing auditory overwhelm, getting outside, listen to music, get comfortable, read a fun book, etc.

As we’re heading into the weekend, what are some things you do to recharge and give yourself a break?
