Why it was important to change things
What are you doing: workouts / diet / etc
Routine, frequency
Difficult learnings, yet simple, but profound at the same time: Anything worth some purpose/meaning, requires hard work:
It’s easier to grab food, it’s harder to diet
It’s easier to lash out, it’s harder to think things through
It’s easier to spend $$, it’s harder to enjoy what you own
It’s easier to complain, it’s harder to see what you already have in life
It’s easier to be anxious, it’s harder to understand everything is going to be ok
Mental symptoms: Catastrophizing, Anger issues - Are these learned behaviors? My own mental makeup
