I haven't always had the perspective I currently do but in the last year, I have gained much more insight into myself. I need activity. I have been a software developer for over ten years and sat behind a desk in front of a computer screen. I also pounded energy drinks in place of sleep. The result was high blood pressure, stress and multiple prescriptions to keep me functioning. I don't know what I was thinking, but I know I was on a path to an early demise.
In the last year, I have changed all that. It started out slow but has turned into a habit. Everyday for my lunch I hit the gym. It has replaced my fast food habit and dropped my blood pressure and stress levels greatly. It also allows me time to defrag and renew myself, which in turn has made me far more productive. I seem to be able to put a 100% for a more sustainable amount of time.
For me inactivity was my Kryptonite. I encourage anyone who isn't doing so, get up and get moving. You may think you can keep up at the pace you are now, but with a little more balance who knows what you can accomplish.
