Do you believe you have what it takes? In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Robin Arzón about how she built the self-confidence to go after the life she wants and accomplish her ambitious goals. Regardless of how big she was thinking, she always felt like she could get what she wanted as she not only put in the physical work but also put in the effort for her mindset. Through her journaling practice, she asks herself the right questions to prime her mind to believe she is capable of everything she wanted. Robin also shares how she set boundaries with the things that don’t serve her, so she can have time for the things that do. Whether it be to spend time with her family or to focus on more important projects, she explains that she had to learn how to say no and what to say no to.  Robin Arzón is Vice President of Fitness Programming and Head Instructor at Peloton. She believes that sweat transforms lives, and her story is living proof. Formerly a corporate lawyer, Arzón left behind a successful law career to embark on new adventures in the health and wellness space and has since reinvented herself into a 27x marathon and ultra-marathon runner, MasterClass instructor, highly-sought after keynote speaker, 2x New York Times bestselling author, and author of the forthcoming self-empowerment journal, Welcome, Hustler: An Empowerment Journal, publishing September 26, 2023. Most recently, Arzón founded Swagger Society, the first lifestyle membership club in Web3, and a kingdom of hustlers that share a growth mindset and the collective goal of leveling up in life.

Key Takeaways: Learning how to say no is just as important as figuring out what you’re going to say no to. It’s not always a question of “What do I have time for” but also a question of “What do I want to do?” Before you add something to your calendar, it should be something you feel like doing, that you can show up as your best self, and that will help you progress towards the end goal. So if it’s a mediocre “yes”, it’s a no.   Nurturing your self-belief and building confidence starts by asking yourself the right questions. When you are honest with yourself and set out what you are capable of, what you can do, and why nothing is stopping you other than your mind, it becomes a lot easier to believe in yourself and move forward. Through the actions you take and the experience you gain, you will eventually build up your confidence. After all, confidence can only be built through action.  Your daily habits are how you prime your brain to accomplish everything you have set out for yourself. Because once the brain is set on a goal, the body will follow. So by adopting daily practices like journaling, visualization, and other habits of this sort, you are prepping yourself mentally to go for everything you want in life.  To learn more about Robin Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robinnyc/?hl=en Website: https://www.robinarzon.com/ Book: https://www.robinarzon.com/welcome-hustler My links: Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/ Instagram: @therealjencohen
