It’s 3:52am on a Monday. I’m running on scraps of sleep. The body wants comfort. The mind wants excuses.
And that’s exactly why this matters.

This is the real work: consistency. Not the hype. Not the perfect week. Not the “when I feel like it” fantasy.
It’s showing up when you feel good… and especially when you don’t.

In this MM in Motion, I talk about:

Why motivation is unreliable (and discipline isn’t)

The difference between thinking about doing the thing and doing the thing

Why “a bit more sleep” can sometimes make your day worse, not better

The identity shift: become the person who shows up

If you’re feeling flat today: don’t negotiate with yourself. Just move. One rep. One step. One choice.

0:00 – 3:52am Monday: the real test begins
0:35 – Monday mindset: dejected vs driven
0:50 – The core lesson: consistency beats emotion
1:16 – “Do the thing” (even when you don’t want to)
1:41 – The trap: watching/talking vs actually doing
2:08 – Today’s plan: gym + run (show up)
2:29 – Sunday rest → Monday reality (earliest wake-up)
3:16 – The sleep chaos: parenting, broken night
4:10 – The moment of truth: you still go
4:30 – Why skipping now makes the whole day worse
5:04 – Final push: move anyway, be consistent
