I get to be intentional about my movement, my exercise. And when you start thinking this way, I mean, you just, you feel better, you have more energy, your sleep's better, she said. I mean, you just, you see the world through a totally different lens. Yeah. I can tell you from having done it both ways. I mean, I choose this all day, and it is so empowering.
