'Why you wore your t-shirt inside out when u workout?' my brotha asked.
'To bring me into the mood to train',I replied.
'You could wear a singlet,maybe?'His curiosity lengthen.
I smiled and explained him about an incident~years back,in the surgery ward along with my batch mates.
Its was a complete race like the movie 3 idiots-all the time.We aren't familiar with it 'yet' then..The pt n teacher will b surrounded by my 25 mates.The pt will b encapsulated by us and I will b in the last circle,most of the time.The environmental commotion made the voices of the dr n pt almost inaudible.The different dialect of the pt made it worse most of the time.On that fine day,somehow my sir pointed me and cld me towards the centre of the pseudo-circle and asked me to examine the pt.No steto,no termo,nothing with me except me myself standing there with pounding heartbeats .My Sir asked me to just imagine like I have a termo, bp mchne etc n do it.Everyone had a good time that day with a laughter thru out the general examination.When I reached the pt wrist to check the pulse rate,my Sir stopped me.This time I had a watch arnd my wrist to check the rate,but it was on the right..Since Im not left handed,it became a fault.I had to change the watch to my left wrist and continue.
'What's the connection of this to ur tshirt',my brotha interrupted my nostalgic flow.
'Did you wear them on the left now?'he questioned.
' Still on right',I said.

That day,it felt like a clown in my head but I knew I cant change the environment and at the same time I cant change my way.It wasn't comfort zone.Nothing really comfortable in life.Even when u sleep,if you gona have an important day tmrw , the sleep too isn't comfortable anymore..But when I have my reason for my act,If I change anything for the cause of around,then its not me ..So I decided ,after this whenever I feel nervous I will wear my watch on the left.Exam and situation like that required me to wear them on left n hnstly its a nervous moment too.So like Neil Armstrong's wristband,when this watch is on my left,it always reminds me that everything is going to be fine rly soon and I will change them to my right wrist in awhle.That way, the environment never change but the way I see the problem changed.The same with training,I dont love them.I wont sleep in my coffin with abs.Being with ripped body isn't the core,its a choice not necessity.But being fit n healthy is a necessity.It could give u extra years of life that you could spend with your loved one with a cup of low sugar green tea during ur last days~something I learnt from my friend recently about how important is the last days comfort..When I can't change the environment,when I can't change me for things that I want,I adapt.I dont change something that seems important for me for the sake of another priority.That way life always remain on my term,not being a victim of it..For that I need consistency and for that I don't need ability but motivation.Change is not a matter of ability,its about motivation.When your surrounding doesn't give u that motivation,cheat ur mind with a silly reason to initiate it.Get out of ur mind first in order to use your head,otherwise you will become like Trump.
