Why "Kicking the Table" Might Be the Best Thing for Your Fitness Goals


Listen Later

Ever kicked a table so hard you swore you broke your toe?

The pain is something else.

You're hopping around, and spitting out words that I won't repeat here.

We've all done it, and it's the worst.

But hang on—did you know there's more to "kicking the table" than just a random moment of pain...

There’s a lesson in that pain. A BIG one. And it’s about to change the way you think about your health and fitness.

How? You ask.

Well, let me give you one way.

Picture this: It's late at night. You tiptoe to the pantry and snag a handful of chocolate chips—and it feels a-mazing.

And because it's so darn good, you find yourself going back for more... over and over.

But that quick hit of joy? It fades fast.

Soon enough, that bloated feeling hits you, or you step on the scale and... ugh!

It’s just like that sting from the table—you didn’t see the pain coming, but now it’s ALL you can think about.

Those painful moments? They're not curses; they're wake-up calls. The trick is to use them to your advantage.

Think about this—

What if, next time you find yourself eyeing that late-night snack, you paused? 

And what if you used that pause to forecast and anticipate the pain that'll follow?

Could recognizing the pain that’s headed your way actually steer you towards better choices?

By taking a second to think about what comes after the pleasure, you open the door to a whole new path.

See, forecasting the pain isn't just about cutting calories; it’s about choices.

And making choices that line up with what you really want—not just what you want right now.

Ready to flip those painful "kicks" into powerful pivots for change?

Tune in, and let's unpack how these painful moments can actually drive the change you're looking for.
