Trying new things is good for the soul and great for your brain - have a think about the things that might be holding you back or have stopped you from trying new things in the past

Has there ever been a time when you’ve held yourself back because of pain, injury, weakness, lack of confidence etc? 

This week on the You Can Fix You podcast we are diving into negativity and how it can hold you back more that you might realise!

We all have a negative streak in us to help protect us but sometimes it can go too far and even affect those around us!

This isn’t about toxic positivity, it’s about being aware when you’re stuck in a rut and being able to pull yourself out of it!

Have you ever set an outrageous goal?!

Did you achieve it??

Setting big, audacious goals can be both exciting and intimidating!. Today we discuss our own experience with goals, both big & small, and ways we’ve found to help us actually achieve them such as:

• Setting a goal you ACTUALLY want to do (not just something you *think* you should do)

• Discover if you work best with Process Goals, or Outcome Goals

• Make it manageable! What’s genuinely realistic for you & your life?

• Adjusting your identity to fit the outcome you want - it’ll be harder to go for a run 4 times a week if you don’t see yourself as a runner!

• ...And more!

What are your best tips for setting & achieving a goal?

Last November I starting having some quite extreme hip pain that I hadn’t had for 8 years, not since my initial back injury that left me with 2 herniated discs…

I decided to go the full haul and get my hips, my lumbar spine, my shoulder that I injured badly years ago and my neck (I fell on my head a number of times)

The results were….. well, that’s what the episode is about really!! I share my full radiologist report and the feelings I have around it all!
