Martial arts/sports: your therapist, psychologist, or priest?

Personally, these mandatory two-month summer breaks are killing me; mentally, I can really feel the absence of a regular routine.
I honestly can't even remember why I picked this up in the first place—it was ages ago—but nowadays, I train just for that sense of peace and clarity I get after every session.
Every summer, I realize all over again how much these skills actually mean to me.
So, have you all successfully traded in your priest for a martial art? 🙂
Not much has changed on my end.
I mostly train because it makes me feel better and helps me manage my edge. It’s an interesting moment when you realize physical pain isn't actually that big of a deal. Plus, the women at the gym are pretty great. 👍
