That’s inspirational. I imagine those would heal most of my physical or psychological wounds, with consistent daily practice of both activities. But I have suspected as much for years, and have yet to achieve that habit pattern to be able to relieve my own suffering (of which I think I have too much). I hope to grow enough or find enough resolve to be able to do what you have, and to experience a better life, so that my life can be more meaningful and fulfilling for me, and so that I can give more to the world around me, and be my best self for others.

Tom I am afraid, in a good way, of who you are going to become and what you are going to do 5-10 years from now. Every discussion/interview you have, you are always leaning in & learning. A couple of weeks ago I just started making it a habit to watch and take notes on one Impact Theory video a day. It has drastically improved my life my friend.

The flip side of "achievement" consciousness: He is likely never satisfied, and although has a smile pasted on his face, liekly rarely feels like he's "got there" and as such is always in a state of feeling inadequate. It's still preferable to its opposite, but remember the grass is always greener, until you move past the concept that it was ever about the grass, it was always just you.

I’ve noticed that other kind of exercise high. I’m overweight and I’ve started working out regularly. I’m normally very quiet and introverted and I’ve noticed my voice is projecting louder, clearer, and people seem to understand me easier. The social anxiety has gone way down.It’s a side effect I wasn’t expecting but it’s really awesome.

Exercise has been so much more effective than any therapy or medication for depression and anxiety. It is a game changer. I’m 1 year into my journey and I’m never going back

Well done, Sabrina. If you can manage your depression and anxiety via exercise your whole body will benefit. Don't listen to naysayers who tell you not to exercise or run because it damages your body. I'm fifty eight and have run my whole life and I've got the strongest bones and muscles of a much younger person. Many people who have tried to dissuade me from running over they years have developed other medical conditions associated with lack of exercise e.g mental health issues, heart disease, diabetes, cancer. It definitely helps my mental state...trust your own instincts and if in doubt get medical advice.

She's very cute too!

This was the impact I needed. 20 years ago I was super healthy, taught fitness classes and worked out hard, but I hated myself and my self talk was loathing. Met my spouse, moved across the country, new job, got busy, totally quit working out, had kids, body changed. And along the way found a wonderful new self loving me. I know I need exercise for my mind and body. But I have such a negative association with how I used to exercise and how I perceived my self. This spoke to me in just the right words, to find the exercise I love, that speaks to my emotional and physical needs, and reinforces the joy I now embrace. I will be watching this on replay for a couple days!! GREAT conversation to both of you. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!

She briefly mentioned enthusiasm; I’ve noticed that since I’ve made inner changes and have become an overall happier, more positive person that a side “effect” has been increased enthusiasm. And I like it. :)

Very true. Kelly's voice... My god! Like honey being poured into the ears. I listened to this talk with my eyes closed and I was so sad when it got over. Of course, I agree with the whole thing about exercise and movement, but one thing stuck out like a sore thumb, you know. The part where she said that she gets headaches when she indulges herself in her favourite activities. I mean, isn't exercise a way of eliminating those pitfalls and insulating yourself from such problems? I could be wrong, but may be she has resigned to the fact that the headaches will come.

She is amazing. The way she talks about compassion, virtue, movement. Just amazing. Thank you Tom for this interview.

Kelly is BRILLIANT. Loved her Ted Talk about how we perceive stress makes all the difference. Thanks for inviting her to your channel.

This is one of the best episodes for me, truly she verbalized some major points that I knew instinctively but could never explain, thank you IT & Kelly McGonagall 🥰

I like the what she said that she dont compete with others but reflect on what is the contribution to the world she had every single day is really empowering.

I love her insight into herself and what gives her meaning. Inspiring authenticity. I love how she embraces the reality of the pain and the love in life. Wow wow wow.

Brilliant lady! I will be getting all her books and watching her Ted talk. Thank you, Tom for another wonderful guest! 😘

My mother has always said how important exercise and fresh air is and when you feel wound up mentally do something physical and if physically tired sit down and read or do something mentally.

Amazing interview - really enjoyed every part of it. My favourite was when was she talked about “how to be a good listener”. I also enjoyed how she added value to exercise - the msg I got is that it’s all about doing something we enjoy and appreciating the positive neuro-feedback it gives to the brain.

Love hearing Kelly McGonigal! I have listened to many of her books and actually took a couple classes from her at Stanford. Thanks for having this conversation and glad I could find it 3 years afterwards. Her sister is pretty amazing too!

Thank you Kelly and Tom 🙏🙏 This was such an amazing episode👌 definitely I will watch it again. Sending love from Libya ❤️

Runner’s high hits when you stop viewing movement as exercise. When you do it just for fun, or as an award-that’s when you feel good for doing it.

Thank you both for this powerful talk. Kelly is an amazing woman, she deeply inspired me and this talk finds me in a difficult moment and is of help, thank you wholeheartedly

It's great to see how much Tom enjoyed doing this interview. Thank you for the great content. I exercise to your impact quotes everyday :)

I loved every bit of this incredible talk. I Learned so much! Especially about how to really listen with your heart. So powerful! I have a lot of work to do on myself when it comes to truly listening. Thank you for this.

I needed this video!! I'm going through depression and I've been trying to think my way out of it since it's been said that all happiness comes from within.

My version of the airplane story: I am 28 years old. I didn't start healthful practice until I was almost 26. I didn't start cardio exercise for the sake of exercise (cycling then running) until May 2019, and June 2019 respectively. I was always overweight and physically weak, so the idea of being a runner was very unbelievable - but I started with a 5k circuit with intermittent walking breaks. Eventually I ran with a friend who didn't stop, so neither did I, and I ran the full 5k in one go for the first time. It was hard, but I felt exhilarated. Once I realized I could do 5k, I decided to train for 10k. I used a coaching app on my phone that pissed me off; it wanted me to run at a much slower pace than I was used to, which was lame and surprisingly harder. So, I ditched the program on the first run and crushed a 12k on my first go. Then on my next run, I was simply curious to know how far I could actually go - where were my actual limitations, not my percieved limitations - so in August, on probably my 10th run of the year, I ran a 21.1 kilometer (half marathon) in 1 hour and 56 minutes. That feeling of being incapable of running and endurance exercise has been destroyed, and I've come to understand that to some extent, we create our own limitations, and thus, we can also destroy these percieved limitations, and we can extend our physical and mental limitations with effort, curiosity, will, and hard work. Cycling and running have bettered my life in countless ways - most notably I'm much less of a cunt to my coworkers and friends, and I'm not as miserable to be around when I am cranky or irritable. It's never too late to start dismantling our limitations and trying to better ourselves.

So true great interview- because when you are out you meet people who may enlighten you - you never know who you may enlighten too xx You never see overweight 100 year olds

Saved to my bookmarks/playlist and I'll get another of her books. I have the stress one as an ebook. Thanks for your efforts both of you!

her authenticity and insights are compelling and there is a spark in her eye that is deeply attractive because of her insights

That was a dope interview with her. Touch on a lot of topics including the self compassion talk which was really interesting! Boosh!

Great listening skills Tom! I agree with everything this lady is saying.

Brilliant! When you already know you’re so damned good...it is so much more powerful to actually help others be powerful too! My God! Think how much more you can leverage your power by multiplying it...exponential possibilities! I can no longer remember the title or author of a book I read years ago...only the most impactful chapter, “ Dare to be Average”...it in essence said if you avoid all of life experiences that you’ll only ever be average at...you’ll set yourself up to miss out on some things that potentially could be some of your richest life experiences!
