Oh man, so many things on a daily basis I do because of what it takes to excel in any sport

When I learned to paraglide, 1st question I had for my teacher was, what does everyone avoid doing that the best always do? He told me “learn to kite” meaning fly the wing on the ground, don’t focus on getting in the air

My simple heuristic is that the mind seems to resist the idea of practice, I’d say yoga conveys this message almost explicitly. When inside voice expresses resistance towards it, that’s where I know to double down. Don’t want to write code today? Great, time to go write some, any, even a little, break the mind

Equivalent to that resistance to go to the gym and you come up with plenty of rational excuses, those are the moments to fight back the hardest, you can establish new patterns with those moments. Make a personal rule you’ll go to the gym and walk in, lift one thing and you can leave, you’ll always do more
