Will this decision make my current self happy at unreasonable cost to my future self?
When exercising: Go harder. If my body can't, it won't. I don't need to let my emotions complicate things.
(The latter came after I had a good base of basic fitness, and knowledge of my own personal physical risk boundaries & symptoms. Not recommended as a guide for those new to exercise. ).1 -
I am, I can, I will, I do. I repeat this a lot while exercising.
Another one I recently heard that's stuck with me: check myself before I wreck myself...for me, this is a reference to stopping a binge before it gets away from me!2 -
"My body doesn't care what I DON'T eat, only what I do eat."
For example, if I eat one donut instead of three, the only donut that matters is the one I ate. My body doesn't give me extra credit for the food I turned down. Simple CICO math.
"Of course you can't become if you only say what you would have done."
a line from that old LEN song, Steal My Sunshine.1 -
It's a "Must Do", not a "Should Do"1

I start my day with positive thoughts about my life, family, career, self esteem, etc. one of the things I say to myself is "Every day I'm getting healthier and more beautiful".2
