Quote of the Week 12.12.21

"The mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance." - Frank Herbert​

So true. the hardest part of exercise is certainly the mental aspect. So many times you just want to quit and sometimes you do... then you get home lay in bed and have jitters in your body because you didn't drain the tank - you just gave in.

A fun trick I like to use to get through it is to imagine the work I'm putting in be it exercise or meditation or writing -- something positive and constructive though difficult -- is metaphorically digging out my best self. If you've ever seen Son of the White Mare, you'll understand you're digging out the golden version of yourself rather than sliding into the haughtiness of the blue or the slothfulness of the red.
