I believe that showing up and having a poor workout is better than not going to the gym because it keeps your momentum going. So on rough days I tell myself I just need to literally show up, and then once I’m there I often have a good workout actually
this is it, I try to not think too hard in my workout nor be too hard on myself, just as i have days where i dont do well, I've also had surprising days where I do great and i think "holy shit im doing so good"
Yeah so true. He talks about this in another video where he gives himself 5 seconds to start moving like a zombie to the gym-it sucks, it’s not fun, but it sets this idea of non negotiability and that builds consistency and results.
The second one is more or less like the "swallow the frog" technique, where immediately upon waking up you do the most difficult thing of your day first, whether it be working out or a chore or a project etc, it's to get it out of the way and build that momentum that Wanhee talks a lot about
Kim is always inspiration for me ...
Wanhee really hits home with this video, and I could say from my personal experience he's spot on when it comes to why we overeat and why it's hard to lose weight.
There are a ton of opinions and pieces of advice out there about what emotional eating or overeating is and how to stop it that, I hate to say, are almost all wrong. Emotional eating is not a moral failure or a lack of knowledge about the harms; it's not a matter of gluttony, laziness or stupidity, nor is it simply about not knowing better or getting hooked so badly on specific foods.
People often treat overeating as if it's a rational or conscious choice, but this is the furthest thing from the truth. You should not treat or react to others' food or weight problems this way, nor should you try to solve your own problem with this mindset. It will only lead to frustration, guilt, shame, insecurity, lack of confidence, broken hearts, and dysfunctional relationships. I’ve learned this the hard way.
**Emotional eating is a kind of addiction**. I know when people hear this they become perplexed and try to resist the notion, but isn't food to you like a drug to a conventional addict? Notice when you need your emotional eating the most, and you'll get a hint of why you do it and what function it serves. You wouldn't need it so desperately if it didn’t serve some function. From my experience and what I’ve learned working with others, basically, you need your addiction when you’re overwhelmed by negative emotions or at risk of feeling them soon. Specifically, it’s tied to feelings of deep insecurity or powerlessness.
Let me tell you my story to clarify this point. From an early age, my parents instilled in me the need to get things right. The specifics don’t matter-what’s important is that whatever matters to me, I need to get it right. This led to my self-worth becoming highly dependent on getting things right, and when I didn’t-or feared I wouldn’t-I’d lose control. That’s when I needed the addictive behavior right then and there. It didn’t matter how big or small the situation was. If my subconscious detected the risk of powerlessness, I’d go off the rails.
Now, there are two important caveats to this:
1. **It doesn't matter what form your addiction takes**. As you may relate, people often shift from one form of addiction to another because it's never really about the specific substance or behavior.
2. **Addiction is a psychological problem**. While some substances cause strong physical dependency in their regular users, that’s not why it’s so hard to stop. We’ve all seen people quit harmful habits after facing a serious risk or the potential loss of a relationship. The core issue isn’t religion, genes, peer pressure, willpower, intelligence, or knowledge-although these can all play a role.
Now, we get to the suspenseful part: how do you stop it?
Here’s what I say to everyone: “Yes, you didn’t become an addict by choice, but you can definitely break free by choice.” The core of addiction is the overwhelming feeling of powerlessness about your emotional state. You feel trapped, like an animal, and your primal fear and flight instinct kicks in. This creates an intense urge to flee or do something to regain control and feel powerful again. For the addict, this powerful act is the pleasure they derive from their addiction.
An addict often feels they can't control anything else in their life, and so the pleasurable addictive behavior becomes the only thing within their control. But that’s the big illusion in every addict’s subconscious, one that has been ingrained for so long. In reality, **there’s almost always something that can be done to relieve that sense of powerlessness and helplessness.**
The long-term solution I’ve found is to live a life of direct, active psychology and behavior. This leads to a new lifestyle and mode of existence-an Active lifestyle. It takes time and intentional effort, but it doesn’t just solve your addiction problem; **it transforms you into a new person-a higher person.** This approach worked for me and for many others. All other approaches are simply shortcuts or easy fixes; they will work for the wrong reasons, and you will as easily fall off the wagon. Easy come, easy go. Don’t take my word for it, ask others or try them yourself.

GREAT STUFF my guy, and right on time! Thank you! 😊
after a while of going, when the feeling you get in the gym each time is so good, and your gains are noticeable, you feel a gravity pulling you to the gym that is harder to deny than the brain's "maybe i shouldn't go" thoughts at the beginning. My best routine was a dense protein shake, then cycle 60 mins to the gym, do 2-3hours in the gym, 10 min swim, then cycle 60 mins home, and have a big protein meal
Thank you mate! Always inspiring.
For the first point, my view of my general diet is very simple: "what is my next meal going to be?"
I can't change the past, and maybe I'm in too deep and can't back out of the current meal. But I can choose the next meal. I had a lot of cheat meals over these holidays. Honestly I don't care about the cheat meals because my next meal is going to be healthy and I'll make up for the loss eventually. Time can't be stopped, you can't pause, and you can't restart. You just keep moving in the right direction and regardless of the setbacks you'll get there.
Especially during winter when you have to bike in the freezing cold. Just shut your brain off. Do some push ups as warm up in the living room and GO.
Big thing that stops my gym habit is getting sick. When I get a cold I’m bedridden for a week. The week after I’m very weak. So that’s 2 weeks of not much activity. This happens about 4 times a year. If I get the flu I’m in bed for a month.
Can anyone give me advice on if I should purchase the workouts he has on his workout class?
i tricked my brain into enjoying league of legends instead
