Most everyone exercises for their physical health. Have you considered how exercise improves your mental health and psychological well-being?

In This Episode:

- Knowing we can act regardless of how we feel.
- Baby steps, repetition, and post it notes make a difference.

- Progress over perfection.
- Why learning to fail and make mistakes is so important.
- How I (Korey) went a little overboard and briefly stopped going to movies because of my eating schedule.

The Wisdom Of Getting A Spot
Just as it's wise to ask for a spotter when under a heavy load in the squat rack or the bench press, it's wise to get a little assist when facing a heavy cognitive load.

If you need help with any mental health challenges consult with a healthcare provider or other trusted professional.
