And exercise, it's just such an incredible tool to boost your motivation. Ironically, even though you're burning calories, it's helping you fill your motivation tank and empty the BS excuse tank because it releases the positive chemicals. It releases oxytocin, which makes you feel much more calm, much more relaxed, reduces the stress and the anxiety, which we all have one day or the other. And then the second thing is the endorphins. The endorphins, you get like these, these sports high after doing it. So whether it's a 20-minute jog, whether it's going for a walk with a dog, whatever that might be, exercise can really, really help you with the day ahead. For many people, exercise is actually something that brings a lot of resistance. And so I do recommend that you do it earlier in the morning because you're going to feel more energized. Like I do now, it's 8:00 AM and I'm full of energy. You're going to feel much more positive. You're going to feel that you can really tackle any challenge that you have ahead.
