Metaphysically, it could be that atrophy of spirit is manifested as atrophy of our foundational appendages. The will to stand could be spiritually linked to the will to live.

Wow this is really fascinating. My finch app helps me with mental health and recommended a physical health journey that included squats! Just got rid of that goal because it's so difficult for me to do, hello depression and anxiety too.

After waiting the squat video I am very encouraged to add that back in, thank you very much for sharing!

Thanks for your feedback, Sam. Happy squatting! I've learned to engage my abs at every second of the squat or else my low back pain comes back.

An interesting connection. I've always found that fitness generally is related to how I feel about myself, generally. But a specific linkage is intriguing. I'm of an age where maintaining and improving muscle-mass is really important; thank you for the video links as well.

Fascinating.

Love your concept of mirrors, signal, blind spot. Coming to our own conclusions about things. 🙌

Thank you, Lori! Exactly. It's sort of like this bumper sticker I once had that said, "If you can't change your mind, are you sure you still have one?"
