What's your inner script telling you? Is it helpful, cheering you on toward your goals? Or are you caught up in self-criticism of never being good enough and not nailing what you set out to do?
When people embark on wellness journeys, they often think the actions are the most important pieces. Go to the gym. Prep the food. Buy the right groceries. Train for the 10k. Wake up earlier. These actions can definitely help move one toward the ultimate goal, but what you tell yourself along the way matters just as much...if not more. Erin and Michael examine the inner script as it applies to behavior change, health goals and even race performance in this episode that will hopefully change the way you speak to yourself... even when nobody else is listening.
