Stop Trying to Get Fit — Do This Instead

from The Begin Within Health Show Hosted by Nate Sleger

Most of us are walking around saying "I'm trying" when it comes to our health — and wondering why nothing ever seems to stick. What if that one word is exactly what's keeping you from following through? In this episode, I dig into a concept I stumbled on in a book about art of all places, and why it might be the most important mindset shift you can make for your fitness right now. In this episode, you'll find out: Why does saying "I'm trying" actually make it harder to follow through on fitness goals? What's the difference between having a fitness identity and just attempting healthy behaviors? How is experimenting different from trying — and why does that distinction actually matter?
