Episode 127 // REFILLED, Part 2: 12 Mental Traps Sabotaging Your Success

"I know what to do…I just don’t do it!” While the specifics may differ, this is THE most common complaint when it comes to trying to improve your stress management. In Part 1 of the REFILLED podcast mini-series, we made it clear that the 2020-2021 flu season will bring an unprecedented amount of stress. We can do all the outside walking and veggie juicing we want, and while those are fantastic for our physical and nutritional health, respectively, the body achieves what the mind believes, so we’re going to start with the source: your mental health. This may lead you to reflect on your thoughts and ask a serious question: “Am I wired for negativity? How come some people are negative Nancy…while others seem to always see sunshine through the rainstorms?” The fact is YES…and no. We DO have automatic thoughts, and the type we have (negative vs. positive) can impact how we feel, as well as our mental well-being. In this episode, we dive deep into your mental health, removing the veil on 12 mental traps you could be falling into that are sabotaging your success. Resources Mentioned: -BOOK: Rx: YOU!
