00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast. This

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: is an interesting one, fits because motivation at the start

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: of the year can be a real battle because you've

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: got a transition from holiday mode back to work mode

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: and once again life becomes busy and serious. Like Lisa

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: said to me the other day, I don't know what

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: it is, but I'm really struggling at this time of

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: the year. The kids go back to school, everything seems serious,

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: and no one has any time to themselves or family

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: time together. In fact, can I just throw a little

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: something in there. When the storm came through the other

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: day and knocked out the internet, we played uno and handball.

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: It was awesome.

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: Can I there watching YouTube? I disagree. I love the

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: start of the year. You know why, because there's nothing

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: planned for the weekends apart from junior sport. I feel like,

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: you know, at the end of the year, when you

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: get to the end of the year and you go,

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: oh my god, I don't have a weekend. I don't

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: have a weekend free at all, and then you're leading

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: up to Christmas holidays. But the start of the year,

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: I feel like you've had a few drinks over the

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: holidays and you're like I'm gonna get myself right. In

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: the first few months, you're concentrating on getting back into

25
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: the routine.

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: So you've should have been and you've been ice bathing

27
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: and saunering again and keeping yourself fit.

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: Nah't. I didn't talk about that at all. I'm just

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: saying it's just great to have weekends free.

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: I sit in a gym car park and have a

31
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: sleep and didn't drive off and see if there's a

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: selaky sale on around the corner. This is interesting, this

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: guy talks about you can sidestep the brain's tendency to

34
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: talk you out of doing tasks, whatever it might be.

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: If it's something if you don't want to go for

36
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: a runner, you don't want to get to the shopping

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: or if you don't want to go to the gym,

38
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: for instance, fits you can actually talk yourself out of this,

39
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: and we all try and do it when every part

40
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: of you is trying to find an excuse to go,

41
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: you know stuff, and I don't want to do that today.

42
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: He said, there's a technique you can do which side

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: steps that tendency and motivates you to get out of

44
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: that chair and get you moving.

45
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: It's the voice on your shoulder, So how do your

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: side step the voice on your shoulder?

47
