Shapes

He’s out of shape.
She’s bent out of shape.
We’re in no shape for that.

However.

We don’t really become shapeless. At any point, we do indeed have a shape.

Maybe the shape is permanent. (Probably it’s not.)

But most of the time, it’s more useful to recognize what is rather than commenting on what isn’t.

Like looking at a map. A journey is impossible without identifying “you are here.” Even with destinations in mind, we can’t focus on “you are not here” — that’s the entire rest of the map.

Acknowledge your shape. Note your location. Go from there.
