Episode 2633:

JC Deen emphasizes the importance of not letting emotions dictate your actions, especially when it comes to fitness goals. By understanding your excuses and establishing constraints and accountability, you can maintain consistency even when motivation is low. Deen's insights highlight the power of choice and the benefits of acting despite emotional challenges.

Quotes to ponder:

"Just because you don’t feel like training doesn’t mean you shouldn’t, especially if your end goal requires a certain level of consistency with working out."

"Understanding you have a choice in whether or not you give in to your emotions or feelings is a big first step in the right direction."

"Do the thing regardless of how you feel. Instead of waiting for motivation, build momentum instead."
