S8 EP2: How's Your Self Talk?

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.
