246: The Power of Self-Talk - How Your Words Shape Your Health

In this insightful solo episode, Janell Yule dives deep into a powerful concept that impacts every aspect of our lives—self-talk. The words you say to yourself, the way you talk about yourself to others, and even how you describe your experiences all contribute to shaping your beliefs, actions, and ultimately your results. By shifting the narrative, you can create meaningful transformation in your health, mindset, and overall well-being.

Using her personal journey as a foundation, Janell shares relatable stories from her days as a high school athlete and her experience with the 29029 Everesting challenge to illustrate how self-talk influences performance and resilience. She also discusses how our internal dialogue affects not only physical health but emotional well-being and chronic conditions. Drawing on her extensive work with clients, Janell highlights the connection between what we tell ourselves and the way our bodies respond.

Tune in to discover how to identify negative self-talk patterns and replace them with empowering, neutral narratives that support healing, self-compassion, and optimal health.

Key Takeaways:

• The Power of Words: What you say to yourself and others matters. Your self-talk reflects your beliefs, and those beliefs drive your actions, emotions, and outcomes.
• Self-Talk and Healing: Negative internal dialogue perpetuates chronic symptoms, stress, and fatigue. Shifting to neutral or positive language can open the door to healing and well-being.
• Your Body Follows Your Mind: Janell illustrates how the body responds to your thoughts, sharing stories from her athletic and coaching experiences to highlight the mind-body connection.
• Neutrality Over Positivity: Instead of forcing positivity, focus on getting to a neutral mindset. For example, shifting from “I’m so tired” to “I’m feeling fatigued, how can I support myself?” is more sustainable and effective.
• Supporting Your Body: Practical steps, like hydration, mindfulness, and avoiding energy-draining narratives, can help you align your thoughts and actions for better energy management and overall health.

This episode is a must-listen if you're looking to transform your mindset, break free from self-limiting beliefs, and foster a healthier relationship with your body.
