from Spandex & Wine · host Robin Hackney

Dive into the fascinating science of how our thoughts shape our physical health and wellbeing. The numbers are shocking: we have up to 60,000 thoughts daily, with a staggering 80% being negative and 95% repetitive. That's right—we're not just thinking negative thoughts; we're thinking the same negative thoughts on repeat like a broken record. This mental pattern doesn't just stay in our heads—it shows up in our bodies, with the CDC reporting that up to 90% of doctor visits stem from stress-related issues. From high blood pressure to weakened immunity, that internal dialogue is literally making us sick.But here's the empowering part: you can rewrite this story. This episode offers practical, science-backed strategies for breaking the negative thought cycle without falling into toxic positivity. Learn how to replace disempowering thoughts with strengthening ones, how to acknowledge negative thoughts without letting them "set up camp," and why treating your mind like valuable real estate (not a trash bin) might be the healthiest choice you make today.Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by negative self-talk or simply want to optimize your mental wellness routine, this episode provides the perfect blend of motivation and actionable steps. Ready to transform your thoughts and, by extension, your health? Pour something in your glass that makes you happy, and let's talk about making your inner dialogue work for you, not against you. Your body—and your wine glass—will thank you for it.Support the showThanks so much for listening! Get all the info here: LinkTreeInstagram & Facebook: @spandexandwineWeb Site: www.spandexandwine.com
