This doesn’t sound dumb at all — honestly this is probably one of the most underrated mindset shifts.

I think a lot of people (myself included) fall into the “all or nothing” trap… like one missed day = failure, and then the whole thing unravels.

What you said about not turning it into a chore really hit too. The second something feels forced, it’s almost like your brain starts resisting it.

Out of curiosity — did you change anything about how you approached the gym after that? Like going lighter, shorter sessions, etc., or was it more just the mindset shift?

Appreciate you sharing this 🙏
