Summary
When it comes to fitness we often neglect our mental muscles as if they play no role in our physical strength or physical outcomes. This is interesting because the reason most people do not achieve their fitness goals isn’t because their body failed. Our mind, our resilience, our habits all fail us long before our muscles do, yet, we are not inclined to target or strengthen these muscles.
This is where affirmations can come to play. What we speak to ourselves can dictate the outcome of our goals or day. Today on The Thick Thighs Save Lives Podcast Kelsea and Rachael discuss the importance of positive self talk, how affirmations can help develop new neural pathways, and how you can get started on developing ones that are unique to your life.
Topics Discussed in Today’s Episode:
- CVG’s New Year’s collection release
- Getting your mind right
- The power of positive thinking and affirmations
- Developing neural pathways with affirmations
- Speaking your affirmations out loud
- Using the present tense
- What to know when you fall short
- Focus on what to do instead of what not to do
- Choose meaningful and individual affirmations
- The link between positive affirmations and a healthier immune system
- Examples of positive affirmations
