From Cody with Love

Hello, readers, and thank you for taking time to open Soulbuildingfitness.com

There is no doubt that it is a tough world we live in. Political and social divisiveness, Covid-19, bombings, attacks, wars, the decline of morality within our society, and many other things. But you don’t want to read about crap like that. So…

I’m Cody, the face behind Soul Building Fitness. I’m a 40 something male with a history of trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Several years ago I decided to adopt a health & fitness lifestyle, and I am now a certified personal trainer. I founded this website to try and bring awareness to these topics and others, and to help provide informative content along with an opportunity to allow anyone to comment or share their experiences.

I also want to do what I can to help us cope with the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction. In fact, I personally have been struggling as of late and I am trying extremely hard to get “back on (MY) track”. Coping mechanisms such as meditation, breath work, and yoga are absolute musts for folks like me, but sometimes it’s easier to fall back to old, unhealthy methods of coping with our imperfections. However, we can either wallow in our toxicity, or get up and keep fighting. Sometimes it’s hard to find the motivation to get up and find our correct path (YOUR CORRECT PATH, NOT WHAT SOMEONE ELSES NOTION MIGHT BE), but if we can, I know there are good opportunities for us to create our better world.

I look forward to discussing a wider range of topics going forward, and although we still have Facebook, we will be launching a new Instagram and X account in the coming weeks. I’m always open to suggestions, comments, and sharing your story here.

Love,

Cody (SBF)
