#56 - Setting Goals Around Pain

from The KRUSE ELITE Podcast · host Taylor Kruse

What if your pain is getting in the way of your health and fitness goals?  In this episode, I speak with my podcast producer, Tony, about setting goals around pain.  I discuss why calendar-based goals can be a trap, what happens when pain gets in the way of your performance goals, how I think about goal-setting for my own training, how I help my clients achieve their performance goals, setting goals around consistency, how to set neuro-specific goals for yourself, and more.  I also talk about the ephemeral nature of pain, why it's better to focus on process rather than outcomes when it comes to pain, how chronic pain differs greatly from other forms of pain, why the salience of performance goals can actually help reduce pain, and why getting benchmarks of your own performance is often a better first step than looking at standards.  This is a must-listen if you are setting goals for the New Year.  Thank you to my podcast idea man and coach, Tony Fowler (Instagram: @tone_reverie) for helping me put together this episode!
