What’s holding us back from doing this one simple thing (twice) every morning?

This is a fear even greater than the fear of death

 

What’s holding us back from doing this one simple thing (twice) every morning? I weigh myself twice every morning. The second time is to confirm the first number. If they match, I’m done. If they do not, I weigh a third time.

Why? Because it teaches us (me) what each pound feels like. Over time the practice, repetition, and the focus teaches nuance and self-awareness.

I can feel a two-pound difference in either direction. Insane? No.

If you have ever experienced this level of daily awareness, you know it’s absolutely not insane.
