=Why would we need a central governor?=
The central governor helps prevent unnecessary damage to our bodies. As we exercise to the point where damage begins, our mind perceives the urge to stop. This perceived suffering is balanced against our [[Motivation]], and when the suffering exceeds the motivation [[Motivation]] we will stop. So if we were chasing an animal to eat it, we would push ourselves hard and endure quite a bit of suffering to avoid hunger. But if we were running away from a bear that wants to eat us, we could push ourselves much harder.
=So is it all in our mind?=
