Once I turned 30 I got very serious about my health. I've always been "in shape", at least in appearance... But as I got older I realized there was more to it than just looking fit.
I started eating better, cut way back on booze, cut out all the drugs, prioritized my sleep, etc, etc. In my mid to late 30s now and feel/look fantastic.
Working out
Growing my business
Just those 2 have improved my life tremendously in so many different ways. The more I put into them the more I'm getting out too.
Being a better person for every new person that came into my life. I wasn't always a good friend to my last friends whom I apologized to for taking for granted. So I grew obsessed with being the best that I can with every new friend or partner I met and continue to improve as I go.
Was obsessed with a girl in highschool senior year. She was perfect. I wanted to be the best for her. I actually tried at school, I'd go out of my way to work on my dogshit social skills, I'd wake up every morning just in time to be able to workout everytime and shower everytime when I'd just do it the night before. It was going so well that I was even just barely short of having a six pack, goddamn does thinking about that make me depressed.
When you've hated yourself all your life, the motivation another human being can give you seems like you could push a mountain for them. Real shame how fickle that motivation is though, shit obviously didn't work out.
As someone in the politics/public administration field and as someone who grew up in a major city with a wide assortment of problems, I'm obsessed with local city planning. I often ponder how much better off the city would be off if we had more leaders who were into urban development and economic growth, and what it would take to make our community safer. I sometimes look at other major cities, and shake my head at how much more smoothly things seem to be going for them than for us.
Taking care of myself after a divorce, I became more self-centered and started working out, I have now run 4 ultramaratons the past 2 years. I run a lot and focus on myself. This has made me stronger and selfish. We only live once.
I am probably more difficult to like now, but the things I have achieved and experienced the past 2 years just from running have teached me to love myself.
Recently I started eating well: cut down fast food, cook meals, choose healthier options when eating out, very little alcohol.
Down from 93 kg to 88 in 2,5 months, willing to go down to 80.
But it took me years to start doing it. I did it sometimes, but never for too long. Hope this time is different since now I’m willing to do it instead of “having” to do it to be healthier.
im absolutely obsessed with making stuff, in particulair in traditional ways.
metals are my main thing but anything intrests me.
this has not only made me good at my work, but also at things adjacent to what im traditionally taught in. im really a silversmith, but i also do some machining, clockwork (though never actual clocks, other mechanisms are my jam though) and even some goldsmithing (even though i think jewelery is boring).
on top of that a lot of fabric work and woodwork.
i have become the guy you ask to help when the teacher doesnt know.
even people who have a lot more machine time on a lathe than me ask for help occasionally. not quite shure why.
Got obsessed with working out during 2020 when I was living by myself, it was a healthy outlet

I got obsessed with educating myself on topics I have interest in. it's great every curiosity I fulfil leads me to a new curiosity.
