Yep. I will say though, its always possible, barring any sort of medical reasons, to get disciplined.

I've had months where I go to the gym and then something happens and its easy to not go. There's nothing on this earth stopping me from picking that back up, other than myself... which reminds me, I need to start going again. Crazy thing is you _know_ you'll feel better but getting up and going can be a drag sometimes.

Yeah, that’s because most of your agency is hooked up to the monkey brain. You’re not really fighting anything, your apparent incentives just don’t drive you to go.

For sure. I just can't get over how I know full well that I'll feel better, yet in the moment its like "meh don't wanna go"
