And when I wake up, the conversation that I have with myself isn't, am I going to work out today?

It's what does my workout look like today?

And some days that's 15 minutes.

Some days it's 90 minutes.

And so I can change the duration or scope of what I'm doing, but I can't change the fact that I'm going to be healthy and I'm going to exercise because that's the type of person that I want to be.

The person that achieves the things that I want to achieve in life, that lives the type of life that I want to live, does those things.

So I create an automatic rule around it.

Now I do it every day.

I don't argue with myself.

Yeah, it's that little voice inside of our head.

The most powerful story in the world is the one we tell ourselves.

And I think we need to learn to talk to that voice in the moments when we're strong.

And when are we strong?

We're usually strong when we wake up in the morning.

And we tell ourselves, tell that little voice not today.

I can fail tomorrow, but missing one workout doesn't make me a failure.

I'm not going to miss again.

I'm going to go right now.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to make time.
