Silencio! Silencio!
Anyone else having this old man in their head trying to deter them from doing something?
Not kidding, this past Monday I was laying in bed feeling exhausted and worn out from the weekend , but I wanted to get up at 5:30 to go to the gym. The gym for me is a special place where I can go and destress and obviously lift heavy things, because I’m like a Neanderthal . “Me lift heavy things.” Anyways, I was in bed and my alarm went off, immediately this old man was saying,
“Hey go to sleep, rest a little, you had a hard night.” He was relentless.
“Don’t worry about the gym, you can work out later. Working out is overrated.”
I was so close to hitting snooze button and roll back over and hold my wife and call it a day. Maybe I would even sleep until noon and not work that day. Then I decided quickly in my brain to shut that old man up. I jumped up out of bed and started saying “Silencio! Silencio!” Don’t ask me why i said it in Italian, but it worked! It felt amazing to beat up on an old man (figuratively obviously, I’m no monster. I love old people.) Whenever an old man or old woman creeps into your mind to deter you from waking up to go to the gym, or try to delay your from finishing a task remember to say “Silencio! Silencio!” hey will run away and leave you be for that day.

P.S. I wonder what kind of house he lives in, His address is probably something like 345 Sycamore lane .
