| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast. I hope everyone is very well. |
| 0:07.9 | I have some thoughts today. I've been thinking a lot about patience and impatience. |
| 0:12.7 | And my conclusion or my thoughts about this are, you don't need patience. I used to talk a lot about |
| 0:21.6 | impatience and you'll see what I mean. It's just a little bit of a reframe. You know how I love |
| 0:26.5 | the reframe. But you don't need patience. You just need to stop waiting. And I'm not really talking |
| 0:32.8 | about, like, you just need to take action. What you need to do is stop telling yourself that you're |
| 0:38.1 | that you're waiting for something so i guess the odd thing about impatience is like |
| 0:43.9 | you're only impatient because you're telling yourself that you're waiting for something and one |
| 0:48.1 | of the problems with dieting is that people do wait as in they put their lives on hold while they diet or they avoid |

| 1:11.5 | and that's why people struggle with waiting to get results because they are waiting. |
| 1:15.7 | The best way to think about waiting for anything is that you're not waiting, you're living. |
| 1:21.6 | The time is going to pass anyway and you may as well be getting closer to your goals, |
| 1:25.8 | but you're not waiting for anything. How long it |
| 1:27.9 | takes is basically irrelevant. And even ask yourself this, like, if it's going to take twice as long, |
| 1:35.1 | does that mean you're not going to do it? And everyone wants to know how long is it going to take, |
| 1:41.4 | but does that actually really matter? If you were told, it's going to |
| 1:45.5 | take twice as long as you think, would you rather then stay where you are? If I was like, it's going to |
| 1:49.7 | take you twice as long to reach the physique goals that you want, would you be like, okay, well, |
