 like this is guy David Goggins which I love him he's he's really good in um role model David Goggins you can check him out on instagram whatever a healthy body gives you a healthy mind that's what it's about so if you go into battle you're not going about the right mindset the right gear in combat you wear a body armor but what we do wrong is we want to strengthen our minds you got strength in your mind take control of that so then when you get out in the real world and they can fuck you up anyway he talks about training and he's like it's not about what happens to your body when you're training it's about what happens to your mind and it's like you're having this mental battle with yourself like your mind is trying to give up and like your mind is doing everything it can to avoid pain well that's what it wants to do it's a survival it's like a survival computer so when you feel pain it tries to avoid it your mind is always trying to take the easy way out isn't it think about it your mind's trying to protect you i'm hungry i'm cold that hurts oh i'm tired that's what your mind is always trying to do it's always fighting against you but when you when you're pushing yourself you're doing something that really hurts you have to have that battle with your mind don't you it's like a it's like an internal battle so you're trying to override your survival mechanism which is to stop ouch that hurts so when you start looking at um training like that like okay it's not about what's happening to my body it's about what's happening to my mind along the way it changes the game it's like wow this is mental training this is training for my mind like am i going to give up here or can i push past it and then you apply that out to your life to other aspects of your life that the mental training that you learn when you're pushing yourself in the gym or whatever running or cycling or whatever you're doing you can extrapolate that out to the rest of your life you know what i mean so you push yourself in your work in your passion and you know your home life whatever challenges you have in life you can push yourself because you've already done the mental battle in the gym you know what i mean so how amazing is that training the mind to overcome the struggle and then using that in your day-to-day life struggles so anyway like i've been jumping on the treadmill and challenging myself and i'm going to do it every day this week because i'm like that if i get something in my head i don't stop it's weird like i think it might be is it ocd i don't know but i just don't like being defeated and that's like my um animal rights activism too i don't like being defeated like you won't stop me it won't you what you try to stop me it will make me come back stronger like you can rip me down and criticize me and call me names and you know throw me in the bin i'll come back out the bin stronger like that's how i work that's how i got through my life that's how i got through addiction that's how i got through suicide that's how i got through mental health problems and anxiety and depression that's how i got through the gang world that's how i got through prison i come back stronger and sober and a better version of myself and that's how i that's how i'll progress in the animal rights movement and you won't stop me i'm a fighter i'm a fighter and that's why when i hop on that treadmill i want to do it again the next day even though it hurts even though it bloody hurts and i want to get off i'm like wow that was exhilarating come at me bro let's see if we can beat the time next week third day running in a sub 25k 19 minutes 16 on no running training so yesterday the treadmill died on me before i could get my sub 25k so today it didn't die i made sure of that and i got the sub 25k third day running on the treadmill already hitting sub 20 so it's crazy what your mind can do
