This is round two with Jenn Fleischer. Jenn was on episode 038 of the show. If you haven’t listened to that episode, I encourage you to go back to that conversation where we go into Jenn’s story and her thoughts on why we’re at war with food. Just to give you a quick snapshot of Jenn, her background is super diverse, she holds a Bachelor’s of Science in nutrition and food science, a Master’s in exercise and nutrition science, she's a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, a Licensed Dietitian, a Certified Health and Wellness Coach, and a Certified Diabetes Educator.
So we start by asking the question, 'why does mindset matter?'
Jenn and I then talk about the stories we tell ourselves, and how those stories ultimately determine if we limit ourselves or, alternatively, see the world as an opportunity. We discuss the importance of being OK with not being OK, and how comfort is often times not the best path. (I would argue that comfort is never the best path.) We cover the very real concept of burnout.
Jenn then dives into her four keys to unlock a healthy and balanced mindset. Which includes identifying and working with our inner critic, flipping the script on negative self talk, getting clear on what you want by creating a wellness vision, and incorporating some very simple habits.
This is a great roadmap for all of us to consider, especially those of us looking to take that next step on our path to living a more focused and driven life.
