I keep paying for a gym I don't use — should I cancel?

Eighteen months. Three visits. You know the number already — you have known it for a long time. This is not laziness. This is a small, ordinary lie you tell yourself every month: that paying is the same as practicing. The body does not care what you are a member of. It only knows what you actually do — the walk to the bus, the stairs instead of the elevator, the ten minutes on the floor before bed. A membership card cannot stretch a single muscle. With others, this gets easier to see. Alone, we protect the story. In a pod, someone simply asks, 'When did you last go?' and the truth comes out gently, without shame. That is the beginning of practice — not the gym, but the honesty.
