MYTH BUSTING? No pain, no gain
This seems to be the war cry in many gyms. Usually espoused by big muscled bros. Pushing yourself and testing your limits is fine. But needing to feel the pain to ensure a decent workout is not needed.

If you were in conversation with grief what would you ask? What would you be curious about? Grief shows up in ways that we cannot imagine. It likes to grab you, hold you, and sometimes, if you’re not careful, keep you in its grip. Yes, when you meet grief, identify it as grief; you have ...
