I\u2019m excited for more people to discover this show. Because from 2004 to 2010, I tuned into ABC each week to find out what happened to the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815.<\/span><\/p>\n Although it didn\u2019t quite land the plane (heyo!) with its final few seasons, few will take umbrage with my belief that one episode in particular was one of the best hours of TV I\u2019ve ever seen:<\/span><\/p>\n Season 5\u2019s: \u201cThe Constant.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n I won\u2019t spoil it for anybody who hasn\u2019t seen this episode, so I\u2019ll just speak in generalities:<\/span><\/p>\n A character finds himself existing within two realities inside his mind, and he\u2019s slipping further and further from real life. It\u2019s only through his \u201cconstant,\u201d his girlfriend, that he finds his way back from the brink.<\/span><\/p>\n I thought of \u201cThe Constant\u201d a lot back in 2011 when<\/b> \u200b<\/span>I traveled around the world<\/b>\u200b<\/span><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n For those 18 months, every part of my life was abject chaos: <\/b>a different hostel every night, a different group of travelers every day, a different country every week or month, and a different place to eat for every meal.<\/span><\/p>\n While everything else around me was changing, my workouts became my constant. The thing that kept me sane, and grounded, was finding a place to do my<\/span> \u200b<\/span>playground workout<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/a> every other day.<\/span><\/p>\n With <\/span>LOST<\/span><\/i> making its way to Netflix, I was reminded of The Constant again these past few weeks as my travel schedule picked back up.<\/span><\/p>\n These days, these are the \u201cconstant\u201d things I prioritize through the ups and downs of life:<\/span><\/p>\n I know that no matter where I am, no matter what I have access to, if I prioritize these few things, I feel more grounded and strong and healthy, even if the rest of my schedule is a mess.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve talked a lot about \u201cself-care\u201d lately, and how we often think the<\/span> \u200b<\/span>solution is external<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/a> (buying bath bombs or a 90-minute massage), but the reality is often internal: establishing or accepting boundaries, exercise, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019d love to hear about <\/b>your<\/i><\/b> Constant.<\/b><\/p>\n When everything feels like a hurricane around you, what are the things you prioritize daily to keep you from floating off into outer space:<\/span><\/p>\n With the state of the world these days, or the state of your schedule, it\u2019s easy to feel like we\u2019re split between two realities.<\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes, when our<\/span> \u200b<\/span>identity is stolen from us<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/a>, our \u201cconstant\u201d might need to change.<\/span><\/p>\n What are the things that keep you tethered to reality?<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019d really love to hear from you. Hit reply and share with me your constant!<\/span><\/p>\n -Steve<\/b><\/p>\n PS: <\/b>Here\u2019s a<\/span> \u200b<\/span>fun podcast about how <\/span>LOST<\/span><\/i>\u200b<\/span><\/a> came together at the last minute.<\/span><\/p>\n The post What is \u201cThe Constant\u201d in your life?<\/a> first appeared on Nerd Fitness<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week, one of the world\u2019s most popular shows finally made its way to Netflix: LOST.
