Anger is a very powerful motivator, especially when it comes to working out. Have you ever been so angry that you just had to go on a run? It's only happened to me once or twice in my life but boy will that feeling get you out of bed. Nothing transforms anger quite like heaving some heavy weights over your head. Maybe the impulse comes from our need to destroy.

When something ignites our anger, we want to mess something up. But we know we probably shouldn't do that, so instead we exert that energy into hitting the hardest plank we've ever hit. If we can't throw a plate, maybe we can heave a barbell. But no matter how you get to the gym, all that matters is that you're there. Because that's the hardest part, isn't it? And once you're done, you can give these memes a scroll to remind you of what you overcame.
