Hello and welcome to part three of the mindset boot camp.

0:06.3

Today I'm going to share a few coaching methods with you, the listener, shockingly, that we use on

0:14.7

Commit Six to overcome the all-or-nothing mentality and perfectionism.

0:19.8

And here are a few classic examples of where most

0:24.0

people trip themselves up. So thinking that you might not have time to do a full workout, so you know

0:29.8

what, not bothering to do one at all, or knowing that you won't hit your steps today, so just

1:35.7

too low on their quote-unquote good days. And they slowly create bigger and bigger extremes

1:46.2

where you blow all of your calories on one day or over the weekend, and then you eat barely

1:53.1

anything to try and then make up for it the next day or the next few days. And shockingly, and I'm sure anyone who's

2:02.7

tried to do this can attest, that does not work. And it's the worst place to be because actually

2:09.0

you're trying really, really hard, but you're getting nowhere. And often you even go
