Summary
Are you battling against yourself? Do you feel like there's this ongoing tug-of-war between your good intentions & your choices?
I did a short fast last week and came out with a really clear understanding that I am NOT ever trying to win a fight against myself.
The notion that there's an internal battle is just an idea. In today's episode I'm walking you through a strategy to end the battle against yourself and approach moments of temptation by realizing there is no battle and you have one clear objective.

| 0:48.0 | I think that some of the most powerful growth can come from realizing and then doing something |
| 0:54.2 | with what seems really obvious, right? |
| 0:58.1 | And that obvious thing of the day is the better I eat and the harder I go in my workouts, |
| 1:05.7 | the happier I am. |
| 1:08.4 | I know, seems obvious, right? |
| 1:10.2 | But here's the thing, sometimes I lie to myself and I lie to myself and say that I'll |
