Getting a cold during these Covid times is challenging. Not because of the cold, or fear, or even of strangers judging you. It's because I can't go to my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym and roll. It's one of the few social interactions I have and it's difficult to go without.
However. It should be noted that I dislike complaining about this, because it's not that serious.
In a time where people's family member's have died, where they have lost their jobs, and they are struggling through the uncertainty and the doubt; I cannot complain. I can, but I don't think they are legitimate complaints. There is not real struggle, there is only mild discomfort. I am not a single parent who has lost their only means of supporting their family. I have not lost anyone close to me. I haven't suffered real tragedy as a result of the pandemic so far and I dislike thinking I am so mentally weak that I cannot deal with minor discomfort. All that means is I need more discomfort to put my plight in perspective. Hence more workouts.
So it you think times are tough for you, take stock of what you have.
Shelter, water, food, health (mental and physical), income/work. Tick them off, and then count yourself as not having problems the same way that many people around the world have problems.
Appreciate what you have while you have it. Once it's gone, not appreciating it will be a regret.
