I started eating dessert every night after quitting Whole30. I think it was a rebellion against the strict rules of Whole30 which does not let you eat any dessert, even healthy desserts.

Yesterday I got a deep tissue massage to deal with my knee and hip pain.

I am so tired.

This was my 1 minute blog today. :)

Something > Nothing

I just finished listening to Seth Godin's audiobook This is Marketing, and the sentence that stood out to me was "People like us do things like this."

Yes. Exactly. Everything I am trying to help myself with and my clients with can be summed up in those 7 words.

"People like us do...

When you don't want to do the thing...

Do a small version of the thing.

When you don't want to go for a 30-minute run,

When you don't want to do your physical therapy exercises,

do 1 minute of your physical therapy exercises.
