Imagine your body as a huge multinational corporation with 70 trillion employees each doing thousands of things each day. At the same time, your body is taking in millions of bits of sensory information from the outside world every second. Something has got to give. And what gives is that your brain prioritizes what to process, what to ignore, and what to not even ask for. Most of the actions that go on in your cells, your brain doesn’t ask to know. In fact, it’s up to the cells of the body and their communication with each other to tell them what they should be doing at any moment. What they do forms the basis of who you are. You are just as much your body as you are your brain. That means if you want to change your body, it’s not a matter of your will beating your body into submission. Your body needs to understand what’s going on and come along for the ride. #goals2018 #everystrongbody #fitnessinspiration #youarenotyourbrain #youareyourbody #connecttoyourself (at New York, New York)
