Stop Your Brain From Quitting: The 3 Cs of Mental Toughness


Listen Later

Is your brain trying to quit before your body does?

In this episode of Unstoppable by Design, Matt and Anna Terry dive into the "invisible weight" of negative self-talk. Whether you’re mid-workout at the gym or tackling a difficult project at work, the way you talk to yourself determines your output.

We break down the Catch, Check, Change framework. A simple, actionable tool to help you recognize the inner critic, audit the facts, and reframe your instructions to keep moving forward.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The physiology of "I Can't" (and how cortisol affects your performance).

  • Why your brain is hardwired to look for the negative (The RAS).

  • The "Third-Person" trick to distance yourself from pain.

  • Why "I'm Learning" is more powerful than "I Can't."
