Summary

What if your biggest barrier to progress wasn’t physical but mental? Think about it—if your mind is telling you that you can’t push further or won’t improve, you may start believing it. Your body responds to your thoughts, and this can be the real reason why you’re stopping early, skipping reps, or shying away from challenging exercises.

In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I'm diving into why negative self-talk can sabotage your fitness journey and how to tackle it head-on. The mind is just as important as the muscles when it comes to reaching your goals. If we constantly reinforce self-doubt, we hold ourselves back. But imagine what can happen when we reframe those thoughts.

We’re breaking down actionable steps to silence that inner critic, from recognizing negative thoughts in the moment to replacing them with positive affirmations.

 

I also discuss:
