I just watched the KRO interview with Tim Ferriss, and towards the end he talks about his experience with ketamine therapy. He described life as a series of crunches (like the exercise), and prior to therapy he realized he had been doing the crunches with a 35lb weight on his chest. Afterwards, he felt the weight lifted and he moved with a lightness he hadn't felt since he was 11 or 12 years old.
That image stuck out to me, and it made me wonder: what is my equivalent of the 35lb weight I'm carrying? I'm not doing anything nearly as stressful as running a failed PFP project beholden to VC interests, but I'm sure I have some subconscious weights that are making life heavier than it needs to be.
After reflecting I think it's something with insecurities around my body. I feel very self conscious of it and it influences how I carry myself and move through space - posture, stiffness, comfort, etc. Something I'm conscious of and want to be more intentional about working on.
