I have crossed the Rubicon. I get sore after my lifts. To stop being sore, I need to lift again. 🤣
I resonate with this quote from James Clear, ““Long-term thinking changes short-term actions. Spend a little time today doing things that will benefit you in ten years.”
Next week, I am going to post the podcast as a video in the podcast feed. I am curious to see if it shows on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube as video.
