“Some people need that soft inner voice, like ‘you can do it, you got this’, small victories… Some people just like to wake up and be like, ‘Don't be a bitch today. Let's go to the gym. Let's get shit done!’ We function different and I like reading David Goggin's books. I've never gone into the military, I don't have any family in the military. But I'm always drawn to that like harsh military type of discipline. Let's do this, let's get it done.
I'm from the same exact parents as my sister. My sister cannot function with a harsh inner voice. She needs someone soft. She needs encouraging little notes throughout the day and like a soft inner voice that's like, “Okay, you went out and you planned seven miles today, you only did a 5k. It's fine. You did great. You put your shoes on. I'm proud of you.” And then some people do better with “You are not gonna finish at this 5k. You're gonna continue doing this seven miles.” They thrive like that. But if you try and force that other person that needs that like softer inner voice, you know, they might crumble and then they might give up running or something.
You gotta find your flow. And that's why it's hard in this health and fitness area. I say it's hard, but it's also more of a blessing that there's so many people out there. But you gotta be careful who you listen to. You gotta find who you like. You gotta understand not everyone out there is gonna be the same vibe as you. So that's why it's fun. You get to go out and you get to find the people that inspire you and motivate you.”
