| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast. I'm going to do a bit of a Q&A |
| 0:06.5 | episode today, which I don't normally do want to say though podcast, but we have had so many |
| 0:12.4 | absolutely incredible questions on Commit to Six. Like, I think I said this a few times, |
| 0:18.9 | but when does that ever stop me repeating myself? |
| 0:22.6 | But the questions that we get are so good. |
| 0:26.4 | Like, you'd think that maybe we'd be bored about answering questions after like six |
| 0:30.2 | years of consistently doing this, but honestly, I enjoy them so much. |

| 1:20.4 | You don't need to deal with your emotional baggage. You don't need to process your trauma. |
| 1:25.4 | You don't need to confront your past. You don't need to confront your past. You don't need to |
| 1:28.5 | figure yourself out. You can just go ahead and do the thing. Now, what I interpret from this, |
| 1:37.2 | and I'm going to pull this apart because some of it I don't fully agree with, but I do agree |
| 1:40.9 | with the narrative that sometimes you can sit and overthink and procrastinate |
| 1:46.6 | and almost like paralysis by overanalysis and not actually take any action because you think |
| 1:52.8 | that you need to have everything figured out before you take action. And here's the truth. No one |
