Dwayne Johnson deals with fatigue by asking himself important questions
Dwayne Johnson takes pride in being one of the most hard-working individuals. The long list of blockbuster movies, constant social media updates on fitness and other walks of life, and other ventures stand testimony to this fact. However, even the most hard-working individuals are not immune to fatigue and lack of motivation.
While answering fans questions on how he powers his way through fatigue and tiredness in an Instagram video, The Rock stated that he talks himself through those situations and asks himself fundamental questions that help him shake off procrastination and motivate him to push through:
‘When it’s midnight and all my business is done for the day – and the only thing left on my “to do” list is workout..
Two things I think about
- I’ll remind myself of how things used to be many years ago… those fun $7 bucks days.
- Then in the quiet of the night when no one is watching or listening, I’ll ask one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves in this moment.
How bad of a motherfucker do you think you are?’
Then I’ll usually start belly laughing like a crazy person while nodding my head and say
“Fuck you. Let’s fucking GO” And off we go.’
