We need to understand the role that each part of our mind plays. Because the emotional side of our brain is incredibly important. It determines our motivation. It determines our inspiration. It determines... where we feel value and significance in our lives.

But the fact of the matter is, until we are emotionally motivated to go to the gym, until we enjoy going to the gym, to some extent, we're not going to go.
