I think this is actually the fundamental issue. Is people ask me all the time, "How do I stay consistent, hit my goals without having negative thoughts, negative energy, feeling like crap?" And I'm out of breath 'cause I'm between sets.
The issue is, like, most people don't understand. You're going to feel like you're going to have terrible thoughts. You're going to feel terrible so many days. And the point is not to let that dictate your actions.
If your thoughts don't have hold over your actions, and your actions are just aligned with values that you have and goals that you set, then what's so wrong with feeling terrible? I feel pretty shitty today. I'm still gonna make these stories. I'm still gonna work out. I'm still gonna go to my employee luncheon. I'm still gonna do all the projects I've set aside 'cause it's my deep work day. I'm not gonna let it stop me.
And I don't question it. I'm like, "Alright, I feel a little shitty. Whatever. We live." And I think most of the time, we're just scared of feeling terrible because it dictates our actions. If you separate your actions from how you feel, there's nothing to be scared of.
