 CONVERT STRESS INTO COMFORT

One of my favorite things about working out is monitoring my inner dialogue.

Particularly when conditions are suboptimal.

“I didn’t sleep well”, “it’s too hot”, “I don’t have time; I need to go”

My mind gives me all the reasons to STOP, with a heavy correlation with going into apnea or deep, heavy breathing.

Training the mind to accept this inner dialogue and keep going regardless of it feels very similar to Vipassana.
