If you’ve been listening closely to the last two episodes, you now understand that you can work out your brain the way you work out at the gym! It’s called neuroplasticity and it’s likely something that you practice already on a small scale, but with conscious effort, you can maximize its results.

Never say “I can't” but instead to say “I'll try” because your brain is wired to deliver whatever you feed it. And for my clients, I find that when they're mentally OPEN to stretching a little further, for instance, they actually often DO.

Your life can be the same way! Whatever you're working toward, whether it's rehabbing after injury, trying to run a 5K, or lose weight, words like “I'll try” get your brain thinking of all the ways that you CAN do it, rather than getting caught up in why you can’t. This alone can increase your results exponentially!

Learn more about this, and how you can shake off fixed stereotypes or misconceptions that we have about ourselves, in this episode!
