00:00:00.597 --> 00:00:06.097
Cold plunge thoughts. Got a layer of ice on here this morning. Cold.

00:00:07.117 --> 00:00:12.337
The water is about 35 degrees this morning. It's chilly.

00:00:13.637 --> 00:00:17.537
I mentioned yesterday that I do the hard stuff in the morning so that I can

00:00:17.537 --> 00:00:19.677
do more hard stuff later.

00:00:20.497 --> 00:00:22.457
I want to expand on that a little bit.

00:00:23.337 --> 00:00:29.017
I figure if I can get... I just gotta figure if I can get...

00:00:30.017 --> 00:00:33.997
Some hard stuff done early on than

00:00:33.997 --> 00:00:36.857
when i want to make an excuse later i can say well i've

00:00:36.857 --> 00:00:41.877
already been in the cold plunge for three minutes this morning i can

00:00:41.877 --> 00:00:46.717
do this too and some days that's that's

00:00:46.717 --> 00:00:51.637
the only thing that keeps me going other days i feel like i have all the energy

00:00:51.637 --> 00:00:57.637
and motivation and discipline in the world but it's this discipline specifically

00:00:57.637 --> 00:01:02.537
that that keeps me doing this, to be disciplined,

00:01:02.717 --> 00:01:08.517
to have integrity about doing what I say I'm going to do and following through on that.

00:01:09.557 --> 00:01:15.797
It's not always easy. Today is tough. It hurts, but I'm doing it.

00:01:16.077 --> 00:01:20.377
And by doing this right now, I know that later I'm going to be able to do the

00:01:20.377 --> 00:01:22.237
other hard thing that I need to do today.

00:01:23.097 --> 00:01:27.337
And you know what's crazy about motivation is you don't know when that hard

00:01:27.337 --> 00:01:28.237
thing is going to be hard.

00:01:28.337 --> 00:01:32.857
You don't know when it's going to be difficult to do something that is really

00:01:32.857 --> 00:01:36.257
quite simple and easy that you've done a hundred times before.

00:01:37.337 --> 00:01:40.397
But that's the thing. Our temperament,

00:01:40.397 --> 00:01:45.197
our mood, our feelings change about what is hard and what's not.

00:01:46.277 --> 00:01:50.597
That's why when you don't want to, you got to do the hard things that you know

00:01:50.597 --> 00:01:52.477
you can do, even when it's painful.
