Physical Intelligence - Day 55

Last year this time it was all about sweat.  Sweat is considered dirty and unhygienic because we have a deodorant industry that conditions us to see certain parts of natural being as dirty.  We even have to shave ourselves until we look more like pigs than humans because hair has been made ugly.  In a personal gym there is one freedom not available in a professional gym and that is enjoying sweat pouring from our sweat glands without worrying about our "personal brand".

That does not mean we leave the place we exercise in a raw state, it simply means that we can think about sweating in a more natural way, the way it was biologically designed to assist us before we threw social rules all over the act of sweating that make some ashamed of it.  This fixation we have about sweating is something that Procter and Gamble and Unilever will love, but a part of physical intelligence is knowing what we are biologically in our raw state.

Not only do we have people who are conditioned to think things that are healthy for us are disgusting but we have mindsets that propogate a viewpoint of disease.  When we are trying to solve a disease we go to the other extreme.  Instead of seeing the intelligence in happiness and sadness we become happiness preachers.  This is because less and less we don't base our life on what is health and healthy, we base it on nurtured acceptable prejudice and even ignorance.

There is such a thing as healthy sweating.  Not everything has to be reduced to a disease state or seen as something ugly or unsocial.  Some of us have become evil people even though we cite happiness and positive thinking, because this belief system is actually the complete inverse of what is preached.  So people who want a more trust in the world are actually basing that of seeing the world as distrustful place.  Prescriptions about trust then become unspoken distrust.

Even the video above that is meant to be the benefits of sweating are pushing the happiness meme. Why do we need to be sold on happiness as if it is a commodity?  It is because we are being sold on attitudes and conditioning that gets us to buy stuff to save us from social stigma. That in my book is evil for the simple reason we have lost the idea of the good in something that now becomes viewed as negative - and that is cultivating judgemental people. 

To undo these conditioned responses that prevent us from learning about healthy sweating, there is more people engaged in myth busting, such as seeing acne from working out being related to sweating.  There is no correlation, other than we need to take other factors into account that combine with sweating :
