2025-12-09: We often don't know if our decision was right

Today, I felt a strong desire to skip the gym. The weather was dark and rainy, I didn’t sleep enough, and my energy felt at about 30%. The temptation to stay home, crawl under a warm cozy blanket, and spend two hours in bed was huge. I could almost feel a “gravitational force” pulling me toward bed.

Did I make the right decision by going to the gym? I honestly don’t know.

On one hand, I trained my discipline and strengthened my consistency.

On the other hand, maybe today my body truly needed that extra rest and recovery. Maybe taking it easy would have helped my long-term fitness and well-being even more.

I don’t have a definite answer. I weighed my values and chose the gym. I can only hope that it was the right choice. And that my priorities of discipline and consistency will, in the long run, be more beneficial than an extra dose of rest and recovery...
