What is “The Constant” in Your Life?

Are you tired of feeling like you’re stuck between two realities? Do you struggle to find grounding in a chaotic world? This question has been on my mind lately as I reflect on my own “constant” and how it has changed over time.

A Television Show That Changed My Life

Last week, one of the most popular shows of all time finally made its way to Netflix: LOST. This show, which aired from 2004 to 2010, was a staple in my household during its original run. I was hooked from the very first episode and tuned in each week to find out what happened to the passengers of Oceanic Flight 815.

A Standout Episode That Stuck with Me

Although LOST has had its ups and downs, one episode in particular stands out as one of the best hours of TV I’ve ever seen: “The Constant” from Season 5. I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen this episode, but I can say that it’s a masterclass in storytelling and character development.

My Experience with “The Constant” in Real Life

During my 18-month journey around the world in 2011, I found myself feeling like I was living in two realities at once. Every part of my life was in chaos, from the constant change in location to the ever-present uncertainty. But amidst all the chaos, one thing remained constant: my exercise routine.

My “Constant” in Times of Chaos

As I traveled from hostel to hostel, country to country, I found comfort in the familiarity of my daily workouts. The playground workout, which consisted of a series of exercises that I could do anywhere, became my lifeline. It was the one thing that kept me grounded and sane in a world that was constantly changing.

Prioritizing Your “Constant” Today

As I looked back on my experience with LOST, I realized that my “constant” today is not just about exercise. It’s about prioritizing the things that bring me comfort and stability in a chaotic world. These things may vary from person to person, but they are essential to living a life that is grounded and strong.
