Episode 104: The One About Entitlement, Frustration & Perseverance

On today’s episode, we dig into how frustration impacts our ability to stick with our fitness and nutrition journeys.We go into depth on: The importance of learning resilienceHow zooming out can help us to be willing to embrace temporary difficulties for long-term gainsHow practicing gratitude can develop our perseveranceWhy creating opportunities for reflection can spur us forwardWhy frustration is actually a good thing and should be pursued rather than avoided.This episode is built off a quote that I heard on a recent podcast about parenting: “entitlement is the lack of ability to deal with frustration.” In my time as a coach, I’ve seen how this plays out for adults on their fitness and nutrition journeys and how training and diet fly directly in the face of entitlement.
