Yeah. We don't want to do that. The other thing is it's very common to see all kinds of athletes doing agility drills. You've seen it on the field, jumping up and down, jumping over barriers. People like you and me need to retrain the ability to have foot speed and agility so that if you're like me and you leave your work bag by the edge of your chair and you get up too quickly, you can...

catch your foot and hop over it instead of catch your foot and land flat on your face.

Oh, it's not rocket science.

I love that you've headed in this direction because when I said earlier that I've been practicing a long time and you can't excuse me I think that people make excuses or don't invest time in themselves for a lot of reasons. One may be busyness, but what that means is you are prioritizing everything else in your life before yourself. And I think that people in relationships do that.

Parents do that. Mothers do it a lot. But if you don't invest in yourself, you will not be able to invest in others. So sometimes it really is... As simple as, I've got so much to do. I just can't fit it all in. I'm going to get that done first. It's a matter of priorities. Sometimes I believe you. I believe what you said, which is it's self-love.

I often say things like, until you believe you are worth the daily investment in your health, nothing else will matter. You have to put value in yourself.

And whether we were raised that we should be seen and not heard because we're not valuable or that women are told we must be little and cannot take up space and therefore we're not valuable, we need to do the inner work to understand that we have value. not only to each other, but to ourselves. We inherently are created with value. And that takes a lot of inner work, right?

I also think that for people who start out on a journey, they've learned what they need to do. They're like, I am committed. We're right after the new year and I'm going to do this thing. What happens, I find, I'd be interested in if you think this, we'll start out We'll do the hard thing. We'll do some harder things. When we do hard things, sometimes we revert to the last place that we felt safe.

And if we revert to the safety of the couch with the bonbons, because psychologically and anxiety-wise, that's our safe place. Sometimes it's our safe place that will kill us. Wow. It's just where there's the least mental turmoil. So those are some of the reasons.
