This episode was inspired by our community, best represented by this question:"I know that I get in the way of my training more than any injury or external obstacle.  Even tho it sounds silly to say it, sometimes it feels like the conditions have to be perfect to make any progress.  For example, “Shit, I ate a donut for breakfast, so today is shot.  Forget tomorrow because you can’t start a new habit on a Tuesday.  I’ll do better starting next Monday.”   Or “I didn’t do well in my workout today, so I should find a new program”.  I know it isn’t rational, but it happens.  The mental side of training is more difficult that the physical side.  Do you have any mental Elements to share for those of us that don’t see the steps between perfection and complete failure?" ~ TrevorWe can answer this in just four steps:Go deep and figure out why you're working out in the first place.Assess what you need so you can be 100% confident that you're doing the right thing.Identify the necessary actions and make them habitual.Put those actions on your calendar so that time is protected.Of course, those steps ain't simple.
