An extended period without physical hardship weakens our body. Our skin softens, our muscles atrophy, and our lungs deteriorate.
Knowing this, physically fit people tend to welcome, and even seek, physical hardships rather than avoid them. They actively stress their bodies and welcome the physical challenges that come from an active lifestyle, knowing they’ll come back stronger in response to the physical stress.
The same is true mentally as well.
PS – my third episode in the Future of Mobility interview series has launched today. I talk with Brian Van Batavia, who is the Technical Director at Bollinger Motors (an electric vehicle start-up) about leading at a start-up and how his experiences have prepared him for the job.
If you like the episode, or otherwise want to support the effort, it would mean a lot if you could please provide a review on Apple Podcasts and consider subscribing.
