Owning the Gym Floor (1)

You're in a sauna. [1 second pause] The heat wraps around you like a warm embrace. [1 second pause] Steam rises. [1 second pause] Your towel is open. [1 second pause] You are completely naked. [1 second pause] Completely seen. [1 second pause] And it feels right. [1 second pause] Other men are there. [1 second pause] You look at them. [1 second pause] They look at you. [1 second pause] There's no shame here. [1 second pause] No hiding. [1 second pause] Just you, in your body, exactly as you are. [1 second pause] The heat sinks into your muscles. [1 second pause] Your chest rises and falls. [1 second pause] You belong here. [1 second pause] This is your space. [1 second pause] You feel a deep calm. [1 second pause] A deep knowing. [1 second pause] You are supposed to be seen. [1 second pause] You are supposed to be wanted. [1 second pause] This is who you are.

Ten. [1 second pause] Sinking deeper. [1 second pause] Nine. [1 second pause] Letting go completely. [1 second pause] Eight. [1 second pause] Deeper still. [1 second pause] Seven. [1 second pause] Every muscle loose and limp. [1 second pause] Six. [1 second pause] Your mind is wide open. [1 second pause] Five. [1 second pause] Halfway there. [1 second pause] Four. [1 second pause] So deep now. [1 second pause] Three. [1 second pause] Two. [1 second pause] One. [1 second pause] Down. [1 second pause] Deep. [1 second pause] Now see yourself standing in front of a mirror. [1 second pause] You're shirtless. [1 second pause] Your chest is powerful. [1 second pause] Your pectoral muscles full and strong. [1 second pause] You see that man you've admired. [1 second pause] That's you. [1 second pause] That's your body. [1 second pause] That's your presence. [1 second pause] Feel the weight of your own power. [1 second pause] Feel how right this is. [1 second pause] You are that man. [1 second pause] You've always been him. [1 second pause] Now you know it.

You are a confident, uninhibited gay man. [1 second pause] Say it inside. [1 second pause] Feel it become true. [1 second pause] You own every room you walk into. [1 second pause] You own the gym floor. [1 second pause] Your body moves with total ease. [1 second pause] No hesitation. [1 second pause] No second-guessing. [1 second pause] When you want to adjust yourself, you just do it. [1 second pause] Naturally. [1 second pause] Without thought. [1 second pause] When you want to scratch an itch, you scratch it. [1 second pause] Your body is yours. [1 second pause] You take up space. [1 second pause] You belong in every space you enter. [1 second pause] When you're hot, you lift your shirt and wipe the sweat. [1 second pause] No apology. [1 second pause] No hiding. [1 second pause] Just a man being a man. [1 second pause] Your eyes are fierce. [1 second pause] When you see someone you want, you look. [1 second pause] You hold that gaze. [1 second pause] You let him see you seeing him. [1 second pause] This is your birthright. [1 second pause] This is your nature. [1 second pause] Desire is not something to suppress. [1 second pause] Desire is energy. [1 second pause] Desire is life. [1 second pause] You act on it. [1 second pause] You move toward what you want. [1 second pause] Forward. [1 second pause] Always forward. [1 second pause] No more waiting. [1 second pause] No more holding back. [1 second pause] You are seen. [1 second pause] You are wanted. [1 second pause] You are enough. [1 second pause] Every day you feel more confident. [1 second pause] Every day you feel more yourself. [1 second pause] Every day you step deeper into your power. Unstoppable. [1 second pause] Unashamed. [1 second pause] Free. [1 second pause] Worry has never served you.[1 second pause] You trust your desires. [1 second pause] Your confidence builds daily. [1 second pause] Compounding. [1 second pause] Growing. [1 second pause] You like who you're becoming. [1 second pause] No, you love who you're becoming. [1 second pause] You are magnetic. [1 second pause] Men are drawn to you. [1 second pause] Your warmth. [1 second pause] Your presence. [1 second pause] Your certainty. [1 second pause] You give compliments freely. [1 second pause] You touch shoulders. [1 second pause] You make contact. [1 second pause] You are warm and masculine and confident. [1 second pause] That's who you are. [1 second pause] That's your identity now. [1 second pause] Locked in. [1 second pause] Permanent. [1 second pause] Real.

Tomorrow you walk into the gym. [1 second pause] You feel it in your chest. [1 second pause] This is your space. [1 second pause] You move through the weights with purpose. [1 second pause] When you're hot, you take off your shirt. [1 second pause] Just like that. [1 second pause] You wipe the sweat. [1 second pause] You adjust yourself. [1 second pause] You own your body. [1 second pause] A man catches your eye. [1 second pause] You hold his gaze. [1 second pause] You smile. [1 second pause] Warm. [1 second pause] Confident. [1 second pause] You walk over. [1 second pause] You say hello. [1 second pause] You tell him he's looking strong. [1 second pause] It feels natural. [1 second pause] It feels right. [1 second pause] In the locker room, you move with ease. [1 second pause] Naked. [1 second pause] Seen. [1 second pause] Unbothered. [1 second pause] You look at other men. [1 second pause] You let them look at you. [1 second pause] This is your world. [1 second pause] You belong here. [1 second pause] Next week, next month, next year, you keep growing. [1 second pause] More confident. [1 second pause] More free. [1 second pause] More yourself. [1 second pause] Every interaction confirms what you now know. [1 second pause] You are powerful. [1 second pause] You are desirable. [1 second pause] You are home in your skin.
