Do What Feels Good but NOT at the Expense of your Goals & Longterm Peace

If you only ever did what “felt good” you’d likely never get to a place that’s even better

While I’m all for listening to your body & taking the time to reset or stepping back in business or school when you’ve been grinding a ton or not pushing through the pain all the time just to “hustle”

I also know for a fact that if I only did what “felt good” to me I wouldn’t be where I am today

Sure it would “feel good” to:

• Always walk instead of sprint
• Take naps instead of knocking out schoolwork
• Skip fasted cardio because I have an early start to my calls for the day
• Try the food that’s in front of me every time or never weigh anything out or half ass a meal plan
• Lift the same weights w/o any progressive overload
• Avoid conflict
• Do the bare minimum for a “good enough” grade
• Slack in any other way possible as there are MANY in relationships, finances, health, goals etc

It’d feel good for the moment or maybe for many moments

But that’s not going to get you results you want

Now I am certainly not suggesting you sacrifice your mental health & begin to burden yourself to the point where the journey is not fulfilling or you’re unable to be present in the process

I’m saying you’re going to have to let go of old ways in order to create new realities

And the list above could have been entirely different depending on a season you’re in or your goals for life

What you need to be willing to commit to & what may be uncomfortable for you to commit to or do, is going to be different depending on your goals or needs

It’s about being mindful of what ways you need to step up to the plate NOW for the life you want

NOT SO YOU CAN GET SOMEWHERE & SAY, ‘YAY I SUFFERED SO LONG FOR THIS MOMENT’

No

I don’t believe in that either

Here’s a consumable breakdown / checklist to apply:

1. Choose a process you can sustain & find joy in that supports you in achieving your goals
2. Know that it is going to be hard at times & pre-prepare for moments of self-sabotage by having a plan to combat it & make commitments to yourself that drive you to say “this is a non-negotiable”
3. Use objectivity & self awareness to support your efforts
4. Do everything from a place of self-love

BUILD MORE THAN JUST A BODY
