Why do we let negative self-talk get the best of us during workouts? Seriously, whats the deal with this? Were out there trying to better ourselves, push our limits, and become stronger, yet so many of us are constantly tearing ourselves down with negative thoughts and self-doubt.
Do you ever catch yourself thinking things like, I cant do this, Im too slow, or Im not strong enough during a workout? I know I have. And its not just unproductive, its downright damaging to our progress and our mental health.
So, how do we shut down negative self-talk and replace it with a more positive, productive mindset? Is it a matter of self-discipline and willpower, or is there something more to it than that?
And what about those of us who have been dealing with negative self-talk for years, or even decades? Is it possible to completely rewire our brains and change the way we think about ourselves and our abilities, or are we stuck with these self-defeating thoughts for life?
Im genuinely curious to hear your thoughts and strategies on this topic. Lets help each other out and start building a more positive, empowering mindset for our workouts and our lives.
