Documentary + Workout = Drive
January 14, 2012
I woke up today with the mindset of staying in, watching more movies and relaxing. Last night I was determined that I would wake up and hit the gym right away, but the comfort of my bed devoured my lust to get out. Thanks to a long phone conversation with one of my best friends Nathalie from The Netherlands, the drive got back, and with her suggestion I started watching a documentary called “Psychiatry: An Industry of Death” while on the treadmill. Happy birthday btw Nathalie 
As I myself am a psychology major, the documentary intrigued, frightened, irritated, but yet fascinated me. I would definitely recommend watching it if you are familiar with psychology from a psychiatrist´s point of view, if not, please do keep an open mind. It is an educating documentary, but very judgmental, and seen from only one perspective.
Anyways…. Thanks to this documentary I stayed on the treadmill for 60 minutes straight, 30 minutes on the elliptical, and another 30 minutes doing stretching and muscle exercises. Therefore, when going to the gym, bring your iphone, ipad, kindle, or whatever and watch something interesting. It´ll keep you going
Now I´ll get on with my movie-day and weekend with a good conscience!

Psychiatry: An Industry of Death:
Just so you know, this is a documentary made by CCHR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Commission_on_Human_Rights). In other words, they are extremely biased.
Good to know! Still fscinating though, I do agree on alot of the parts!
The issue is that it’s very biased. So, what you might agree on might not be based on any scientific data at all.
Kind of like watching a documentary about tobacco, not being as unhealthy as thought – produced by the tobacco companies.
Haha… I know! That’s why what I do agree on are also the things I have already been taught here in my Psych classes
