I've always said my brain is my biggest enemy and I need to defeat it and keep it in check every day. it's a fucker. you don't need to exercise, nah making a meal is too hard just eat toast, you can have a smoke now it's 4.20 don't worry about whatever is on next.. my brain literally tells me to do the opposite of what I need if to do, so now I do the opposite of what it wants me to do. no you don't need to exercise, go for a run no, don't cook tonight, cook properly no, have a smoke it's good bro, wait until later no, cut the grass next week.. cut them grass

it's hard and I don't always win against my brain but it's a battle I win more often than I lose

brains don't know right from wrong, they just pattern match, so we need to define the patterns and make new ones.

I know right from wrong so I have to keep my brain in check. it's a constant battle.
