“You don't judge a tree for its leaves falling off in autumn– don't judge yourself for moving into a new season of life.”
“We can sometimes fail to see that the small things make a massive difference, whereas in other areas of life, you will do small things with your partner, with your son, with your daughter, and you know that they compound– putting them to bed, reading the story, having that time, you know that these small little things add up to building up that relationship and making it stronger. But with exercise, it's very easy to take an all or nothing approach.”
