Improving your health through proper diet and exercise does more than just make you more fit and physically healthy.
It also improves your mental and spiritual health.
The PROCESS teaches you about sacrifice, challenge, pain, patience and self love.
Bill Gates: "Well, @elonmusk 's positioning is to maintain a high level of outrageous comments. He's not much involved in vaccines ..."
Gates is a doctor now & knows a lot about viruses since Windows 95 🤣
Focusing on the mechanistic aspects of diet (macros and calories) will get you results.
Focusing on the BEHAVIORAL aspects of diet (why you eat what you eat, how food makes you feel, your internal motivation etc) will get you LONG TERM results.
Seneca on fear…
“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.”
“If you would not have a man flinch when the crisis comes, train him before it comes.”
“We are in the habit of exaggerating, or imagining, or anticipating...How often has the expected never come to pass!”
You don't have to be perfect to see results with your fitness.
You need to be CONSISTENTLY good (not perfect) the vast majority of the time.
It is better to be consistently above average (not perfect) all the time, than perfect some of the time.
When you make the conscious decision to be ruthlessly consistent regardless of whether or not you’re motivated...that’s when you’ll succeed far beyond what you ever imagined possible.
Lack of confidence kills more dreams than lack of ability.
Talent matters—especially at elite levels—but people talk themselves out of giving their best effort long before talent becomes the limiting factor.
You're capable of more than you know. Don't be your own bottleneck.
For one person, progress is saying no to the pizza so they can hit their calories for the day.
For someone else, progress is eating the pizza without getting anxiety or feeling like a failure.
Progress is not only measured in fat loss.
Mental progress matters, too.
