SPIRIT – values, perseverance, perspective, and purpose.
FAMILY – identity, affection, legacy, and priorities.
No, Really, You Should Do Strength Training
"Your body wants to be more muscular. It craves adaptation under stress. Thus, it is generous. In your early days of lifting, you won’t be pushing it to do crazy, outlandish things. Instead, you will simply be allowing it to be as strong as it should be. This is why, in the early days of lifting, the gains are so quick, and come without bodily protestation if your form is solid. It’s also why something just feels materially correct about becoming stronger, like you were crooked this whole time but finally you’ve been straightened. "

"What frogs will I eat in the next week? (This is a reference to the Mark Twain quote, “If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.”)"
"What am I looking forward to?"
"Have I done anything I actively know/believe to be wrong?"
"What have I learned/remembered from the podcasts I listened to this week? Based on my answer, should I continue listening to those podcasts?"
"Has the information I consumed helped me, or hurt me?"
"How anxious was I this week, and how well did I do on my habits that help reduce anxiety?"
"What new music did I listen to?"
"How good was I to my immediate family?"
"How was my iOS screen time?"
