“Understanding who you are and what your inner voice tells you can redefine your truth and your actions.” - Sherry
When it comes to healing and overcoming any challenge, your self-image plays a crucial role in shaping your beliefs and behaviors. And your success. Your limits are ultimately defined by your own unconscious beliefs.
In this episode of the podcast I talk about how important it is to adopt what I call the “Athlete Mindset.” When you view yourself from the perspective of an Athlete, the “why” behind your goals completely changes.
I know, I know. You’re thinking: Sherry, I can never see myself as an Athlete. An Athlete is someone who is really good at their sport, and plays professionally.
I hear this all the time. And if this is what came up for you when I tell you to start seeing yourself as an Athlete, then you have to tune in today’s episode. Once you shift this way of thinking, the magic happens.
