Poopypants

I’ve learned a lesson from David Goggins that serves me well.

1. Rest days are important.
2. My brain will sometimes tell me I deserve a day off, or some such shit. (In the little video I watched he used the word “poopypants” to describe that mental conversation. Bang. That bookmarked the concept in my head forever.)
3. Never take the day off that Mr. Poopypants tells you to take off. “I deserve it” is poison.
4. Instead, schedule rest days and take those days off.

I don’t schedule rest days often enough. I need to. That way I won’t fall prey to the poopypants mentality.
