Abby Wambach On: Grief, Addiction, And Moving From External To Internal Validation
10% Happier with Dan Harris
Reframing Fitness and Wellness
The speaker realized the connection between suffering and self-esteem, where suffering during physical activities led to feeling better about oneself due to the release of dopamine and adrenaline. However, this constant cycle of suffering didn't feel balanced. To reframe fitness and wellness, the speaker spent a year focusing on activities they truly enjoyed like walking, light gym sessions, surfing, and golfing. They learned that most people associate fitness with activities they enjoy, and that showing up daily is crucial regardless of motivation levels. The speaker highlighted the importance of behavior activation and how motivation doesn't always come easily, especially in fitness. They found joy in activities they love, in activities that bring unexpected enjoyment, and in activities that provide fulfillment after completion, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to fitness that combines all three types of experiences.
