You know those weeks when even the things you love feel like a chore? That’s where I’ve been lately. And for me, that “thing” happens to be the gym. Which feels strange to say, because movement has always been my happy place. It’s who I am — or at least, who I thought I was.

But lately, I’ve been staring at my gym bag like it’s an ex I’m not ready to talk to yet. The spark just… fizzled. And I found myself asking, What happens when even the healthy habits stop feeling healthy?
