| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast. |
| 0:04.5 | In this episode, I'm going to discuss this very common cycle where you seem to do really well for a period of time and then you self-sabotage or you start to see results and then weirdly you kind of choose to go off track kind of because you're seeing results |
| 0:22.6 | which seems totally counterintuitive like oh something's working so I'll do the exact opposite |
| 0:29.5 | but this is actually quite common and is shown by the amount of people that resonated with |
| 0:35.8 | one of the posts on the commit to six group about |
| 0:38.5 | kind of exactly this. So I wanted to cover it on a podcast to do it full justice rather than just |
| 0:46.0 | comment on that threat. So what I do want to start by saying, because I'm not joking, I think |
| 0:52.0 | everyone was like, oh my God, I completely relate to this. |
| 0:55.2 | The reason that so many people relate to this is because it's a completely normal human trait. |
| 1:02.1 | Nobody is constantly motivated. Nobody is never tempted by something else or to, I don't know, |

| 1:24.5 | Although it seems like a strange thing to do, it's actually quite normal and I think that's obviously why |
| 1:29.5 | so many people are like yeah me too or this happens to me so there are a few angles that I want to take |
| 1:35.6 | to look at this and that some of this kind of incorporates slightly different concepts and the only way |
| 1:43.1 | that you will be able to tell which is true for you |
| 1:46.5 | and what's a useful way of framing it for you or even like what the solution is for you is for you to |
| 1:53.7 | kind of introspect while I'm talking through this. So the first one is probably the most obvious. |
| 1:59.0 | Like sometimes it's just boredom. And I know that |
| 2:02.9 | seems like a really lazy answer, but it's often that you're bored or you're impatient and you want |
| 2:09.1 | results and you want them now. So the reason that you self-sabotage or the reason that you go off |
