And for you, it was, I'm not strong enough.

I'm weak.

Yeah.

I'm weak.

And that, again, is a mindset, right?

Maybe what if they had brought a 10-pound weight?

Maybe if you had lifted that, you would have said, oh, I got this.

Oh, that reminds me that I'm strong, that I'm fit, that I'm fitter than most people.

people.

Yeah, and when you're not consistent or when you go back on what you had hoped you were gonna do, this creeping sensation comes in or belief that you're not doing enough, that now you're failing, that now you're gonna get unhealthy and you're gonna die early or you're gonna have heart disease.

It's like, you can see your mind just spiral.

And so again here, like, look, the behaviors matter.

I'm not saying don't try to do resistance training or don't try to get more protein or don't,

try to eat better.

But you should focus as much on getting into mindsets that are useful for you.

Yeah, as you are on the behavior.

So you can start to think of the spiral, right?

If you have a busy week and then you're like, oh, I'm not getting enough.

Yes.

I'll never be able to achieve these goals that I set for myself.
