In this episode of Beast of Burden, Paul Bassett explores one of the most common obstacles to progress in fitness (and life): not feeling like it. Whether it's a bad night’s sleep, stress from work, or just low motivation, most people wait for the "right feeling" to act and never do.

Paul breaks down how feelings can be misleading, how to use them as information (not instruction), and why successful people act based on commitment, not mood. He shares stories from his clients, his own life as a father and business owner, and explains how to create the mental framework that separates those who succeed from those who stay stuck.

In This Episode:

  • Why your feelings aren't facts and how to stop being ruled by them
  • The difference between action-takers and those who wait for motivation
  • What successful clients do when they “don’t feel like it”
  • How to use feelings as part of your decision-making not your decision-maker
  • Why having a want that’s stronger than your mood changes everything
  • How to overcome emotional decision-making in fitness and business
