The Universe Does Not Care, but Your Brain Does

If I exercise and eat healthy, then the deal is that I'll lose weight and I'll look like I did in high school again. That's the deal that seems fair in my head. If X, then Y. But this isn't just about transactions. Because we can look at a very simple analogy that I use often fitness. And because our brain does not like things that are not fair, it gives us an excuse to quit. Your brain is always seeking fairness and sees anytime we do not receive fairness as an affront to your very survival. We have to stop.
