Are you sabotaging your progress without even realizing it? In this episode of The Fitness With Jade Podcast, we dive deep into overgeneralisation, one of the most common cognitive distortions that affects your fitness, mindset, relationships, and business.

From missing a workout, struggling in a Pilates class, or feeling off-track with nutrition, your brain can take a single negative moment and turn it into a story that “everything is failing.” We unpack why this happens, how your brain is wired for survival rather than accuracy, and why it keeps you stuck in frustration, self-doubt, and overwhelm.

I share practical examples for training setbacks, business challenges, and daily life, plus strategies to stop overgeneralising, shift your mindset, and build consistent progress. Learn how to:

• Recognise the red-flag words like “always,” “never,” and “everything” in your self-talk
• Stop one bad workout, meal, or day from dictating your confidence
• Apply CBT-inspired swaps to your internal dialogue in fitness, life, and business
• Reframe setbacks, injuries, or slow business weeks as opportunities to grow

If you want to improve your fitness mindset, boost consistency, and stop letting cognitive distortions control your life, this episode is for you.
