I discovered a new body part the other day.
Its called the corpus callosum: the tissue that connects the left and right side of your brain.
Sometimes doctors perform a corpus callosotomy and sever the connection in people who have epilepsy.
A strange thing sometimes happens.
Turns out we may have two seperate consciousness, two seperate brains.
and sometimes after a corpus callosotomy two brains feel and want completely different things.
Sam Harris talks about it in his book “Waking Up”
It’s obviously a super complicated topic but put simply:
We have a thinking brain which we know all about because it controls speech
and we have a feeling brain which can't talk and express itself but feel things.
Ever started walking to the fridge and reached for something before you were really conscious of what it was?
Which got me thinking.
So often we tell ourselves that we are our “feelings”.
“I’m happy”
“I’m sad”
“I’m calm”
“I’m angry”
‘I’m motivated”
"I'm tired"
And we use those feelings as reason to do
or
not to do things.
"I felt too tired"
“I just felt stressed out after work”
And it's true often the verbal thinking brain is tired.
But and this is the big but
the feeling brain isn't.
Thats literally been the case whenever did a record number on the squat.
My old friend The Australian Strength Coach says that how you feel is almost zero indication of how strong you are.
You can only know that by ripping in and seeing what the feeling brain has to say in action.
Get started and the energy will come.

Right now I am 9 weeks out from the world titles and I won’t start coaching any new girls after the end of the month.
I won’t reopen entry into the program till December or January.
So it's nearly your last chance.
Love and light
