Yeah man. I've been weight lifting since I was 18... so about 16 years now with a few breaks in there. It changed my life. Even when shit is bad, it's what you can always come back to. It's meditative in a way. I had a recent tragedy in my life that has made me depressed sack of shit lately but riding my bicycle and going to the gym every day are helping to pull me back to normal. Gym friends are a big plus too. You won't generally find lefty retards at the gym.
Great points. This is going to sound weird but if you want a relaxing thing to do that is kinda like meditation and is not terrible for you I would suggest cigars or old man pipe. It helps to have a nice place to go and smoke away from people a nice park or some where with a view. Like lifting weights it gives you a non thinking routine and a breathing pattern kinda like meditation... cigars to me are borderline forced meditation I even try to do some meditation while smoking a cigar aka clear my mind focus on my breathing blow out nice smoke circles and just be one with everything...
Just my two cents
Also keep it up time heals almost everything
I have been thinking about getting my hands on some loose-leaf organic tobacco for this very reason. I enjoy smoking but I know cigarettes are full of weird shit.
