TRAIN to stay out of big trouble

Thank you Andy from Headspace for this insight today! It translated in my head immediately into (additional) conversations around movement and nutrition. As in:

✔️ If we can only move our bodies when we feel motivated to do so — then we are in big trouble.

✔️ If we can only eat the most nutrient dense option when it’s planned out, delivered, chopped and assembled for us — then we are in big trouble.

So, in order to succeed, you TRAIN to stay out of big trouble.

🧘🏼‍♀️ You practice being content, despite your busy mind.

🏋🏼‍♀️ You practice movement, despite wanting to be sedentary.

🥗 You practice eating well, despite being busy, stressed, hungry and craving chocolate brownies.

And here’s the real deal. NOBODY has ANY of this ALL the time. Even the highest performers have restless minds, bodies that fight inertia, and ice cream cravings.

Sure there are moments when motivation is high and things come naturally. But for the other 90% of the time... you need systems, guardrails and mentors to guide you in your practice, practice, practice!
