🫵 Why YOU Don't See Change (Dialogue)
Pick a goal, then find your entry point. "But I can't" No, you can. "But I have school, I have a job, I have homework, I have sports, [insert excuse]...) But you want to be jacked, right? "well yeah, but I will start when [insert excuse] is done" Okay, but there are an infinite amount excuses... "I know, but this one is different" How so? "Because it will never happen again!" Until the next "unique" situation occurs. "No this one is ACTUALLY different" Brother, listen to yourself. "I am listening to myself, I will start tomorrow, I have homework" You lie to yourself, you know that right? "How so?" You know those "micro breaks" where you scroll on ur phone? "Yeah?" There's your example. "But science shows that it's optimal for studying!" Did you know that there is a study that shows 86% of the time they are wrong? "No, I did not know that, well maybe that one is wrong" Maybe it is, but anyways, I'm just kidding. "Kidding about what?" The study on studies being wrong... It's contradictory. "Oh, true. Ha, so the study is correct!" You just proved to me, that it doesn't matter. "What doesn't matter?" If the study is correct or not. "Why?" Because your judgment is off. "How so? You went from saying it's true to false in seconds... "Okay, and?" You are influenced too easily. "No I am not" Okay, well what if I told you this. "what?" Doing push-ups between study blocks slows gains. "I would have to disagree" I'm just kidding, studies actually show an increase. "Yeah that makes more sense" Okay, well I didn't actually look at the study. "Then what is your point?" We don't need a "study" to know what to do. "I see what you are saying..." Then I ask you now, brother to brother... "I'm listening?" Why don't you do push-ups between blocks? "I can" That's more like it. Do 10 pushups. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Done!" Nice, how do you feel? "Better than scrolling!" Of course, because you have to do the hard work. "But what about when I am studying"
