Do not let the malaise set in
Strength and confidence come from consistently making ourselves uncomfortable and doing hard things.
I’ve started working out in the mornings. Now, I can’t imagine missing a day because of the effect it has on my mental state. It’s glorious. I’m still weak and feeble, and by no means someone who should take his shirt off at the beach. But I’ll be darned — it feels good to do something hard and uncomfortable every day.
Strength and confidence come from consistently making ourselves uncomfortable and doing hard things. It’s easy to say but not all that easy to achieve. At least consistently. Consistency is what matters most.
Malaise comes easily and often when we’re not reaching our full potential. On the other hand, who amongst us realizes our absolute full potential at all times? I wonder if the true goal is to fight each day not to let the malaise set in.
