I go to my daily spiritual class by cycle. Or walking.
Mostly because it is around 1,000 steps away. But also because my car is parked inside, after which my landlord’s car is parked too. So to escape the morning hassle of me asking them to take the car out and so on, I take the former options.
Except, last week, due to some chance, I was the one parking my car after theirs. Translated: Now every morning my car was accessible to me.
The result I saw in these 4 days was one, the obvious one: I was walking 2,300 less steps every morning. But the cascading effect of that was I was left with lesser zeal to walk in the evenings too or be more active throughout the day.
Convenience is good, which the car helps me with any distance that is longer than 1-1.5 kms. But if you use convenience in places where you must make it a little uncomfortable for yourself, you are damaging yourself.
Costs of conveniences (of all kinds) are not always monetary.
