Sometimes I wonder if things are 'people things,' 'girlie-pops things,' 'neurodivergent things,' or just 'Nidhi things'—and today was one of those days.
Since moving to my new flat in April, I’ve been stuck in what I can only describe as AUDHD inertia. You know, that state where you know something needs to get done, but somehow you just can’t bring yourself to do it? Yeah, that’s been me with ending my old gym membership and getting a new one.
Gym anxiety has played a big part in it. It’s always been tough for me to settle into a new gym, and just as I was getting comfortable at my old one, I had to move. On top of that, I’ve been dealing with an injury that’s kept me from running—my go-to workout—and it's been driving me absolutely mad not being able to release that energy.
So, here we are, six months later, and I finally got it sorted! 🎉 And guess what? Not only did I sign up for a new membership, but I actually went to the gym today! 🙌 It may not seem like a big deal, but walking through those gym doors took so much out of me. I was terrified. I could feel my heart pounding, but I blasted my comfort music and focused on what I love—pull day! 💪
It felt SO good to be back, and I didn’t realise how much I missed it until I was there. Sometimes the hardest part really is just starting, but once you get over that hump, it’s such a relief.
So if you’ve been putting something off, whatever it is—whether it’s signing up for a class, finishing a project, or even just making that one phone call—this is your sign to do it. You’ve got this! Proud of you, proud of me. 😅💖
