Quotes:

The hardest thing to control is our mind and our mindset and the narratives we've been taught and that we keep alive with our constant “next thoughts”.

Long-term stuff isn't sexy. Long-term stuff is never sexy.

We're a quick-fix world. We're “Amazon everything”. We want everything right now. And I'm even somebody who falls prey to that

The luteal phase is the worst time to actually believe thoughts you are having about your body.

Any of us who tend to measure ourselves against some concept of perfection will literally never achieve it. 

You don't need perfection to achieve your optimal health, wellness, physique, or whatever it is that you really, truly desire.

You don't need to be perfect right now. You're doing the best you can and you're doing a great job.

If anything is achieved too quickly, it's never going to last because you got there too fast.
