The Real Reason You’re Stuck (It’s Not Motivation)

from A Cup of Dri: Fitness Thoughts from My Car to Yours · host Adriana Mastronardi

I fully resisted my lower body workout today. Even wore the wrong shoes to convince myself to skip it.This episode isn’t about leg day though, it’s about the stories we tell ourselves to avoid discomfort. Our minds are wired to keep us safe, not to help us grow. So when something feels hard, we resist it… and that’s where progress stalls.Today I talk about why I run toward the things I resist, how doing things anyway builds a powerful mindset muscle, and why this applies to fitness, nutrition, business, and life.If you’ve been stuck or spinning your wheels, this one’s for you.🎧 Do it anyway.
