Let's Run Podcast With Pahla B Fitness

Let’s talk about wanting MORE for yourself, what it means and why I think it’s a great idea for you.This one’s a little short on practical step-by-step advice, but huge on looking at the big picture of your life and digging deep into yourself to find your true purpose… plus I share a few funny/cringey childhood memories to make it all more understandable.

I’ve been promising you this episode for at least a few weeks, and HERE IT IS! We’re chatting about JOURNALING today, and I’m spilling the tea and opening up my own (super messy) notebook for you.I’ve got a warning, a history lesson and some very practical tips for you today, and more than anything, I hope this helps you find YOUR way to journaling successfully for yourself!

Are you feeling frustrated and thinking about GIVING UP on your goal? Well, then, I have some very unusual advice for you: YES, you should!Today, we’re exploring what it means to GIVE UP (and what you *need* to give up) and truly accept yourself. Of course I have some practical advice for you, but the real work here is in the homework I’m assigning you!

You know what the real PROBLEM is? It goes a lot deeper than you think! Today we’re talking about the fitness problems we all have, and how to solve them for yourself.We’re uncovering our thought processes about

Let’s talk about SELF DISCIPLINE, shall we? We shall.

Yep, we’re diving into some feelings again this week with a close-up look at FEAR, and how you can face yours to get the goals you really want for yourself.On the daily, I hear you:“I’m afraid to step on the scale.”“I’m afraid to eat that many calories.”“I’m afraid to sign up for a 5k.”“I’m afraid if I eat something sweet (or salty, or snacky, or whatever) that I won’t stop.”“I’m afraid if I stop exercising for a day that I’ll never start up again.”We are afraid of so many things that aren’t truly fearful.So, let’s uncoverWHAT fear really isWHY we feel itHOW it’s not unlike other emotionsWHY we don’t actually want to stop feeling itAnd - most importantly - HOW to face it and move through itI’ve got straightforward advice and a VERY simple question to ask yourself that can help you face your FEARS.

I have some really unusual advice for you today - we’re chatting about why you should STOP thinking POSITIVELY! (Hint: it’s not giving you the positive results you’re looking for.)Today, I’m sharing a personal story, some notes from my journal, and a couple of practical steps you can take during a situation that doesn’t feel very positive.

You know I can’t resist singing that old song from the ‘70s (and now you will be, too!), but don’t let that distract you from how important this topic is. Your FEELINGS matter when you’re aiming to get a goal!On today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re chatting all things FEELINGS, and dissecting

How do you SEE yourself, when you look in the mirror or think about your body? It feels true and real, right? But what if it’s not?Today on the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re exploring the ways we SEE ourselves and chatting about

This one gets really DEEP really fast. Today, we’re exploring the cycle of SELF-LOATHING, with a quick conversation about:WHY we do it and why it’s a good idea to stopWHAT self-loathing really is (it’s simpler than you realize!), and HOW three easy words can change it all for youI know it can feel overwhelming to try and stop the cycle of thoughts that’s bringing you down, but I’m here to offer some hope and practical advice from the other side.

There’s got to be a way to handle other peoples’ opinions, right? And I’m not talking about getting mad, walking away, crying, or feeling terrible about yourself. I mean really, truly *accepting* opinions that you don’t agree with.Of course there’s a way to handle it, and of course that’s what we’re discussing on this week’s episode!Along the way on your fitness journey (and my YouTube journey, which is where all my examples are gleaned), other people are going to express their OPINIONS of you, your body, your methods and your results. So let’s figure out how you want to THINK and FEEL about that right now.I’ve got some practical advice, some anecdotes from my own life and lots of mental model theories for you to pack into your bag of tricks.

Let’s talk about COMMITMENT - why it’s good for you and your health and fitness goals, and why we’re all afraid of it! (Hint: it’s your brain being your brain, of course…)I’ve got both practical advice and mental models for you to explore on your journey to commitment. And along the way, I’m sharing funny personal stories of my own commitments, or lack thereof.

As a natural-born CONTROL freak, this topic strikes near and dear to my heart. This week, we’re talking about what you CONTROL, and - maybe more importantly - what you DON’T control.The almost painfully short list of what you DO control - your thoughts, your feelings, your actions and your results - might be things you’ve been tempted to relegate to other people, circumstances, things or situations.And the long list of things you DON’T control - which mostly consists of other people and their thoughts, actions and feelings - are the ones it’s time to let go of.My goal for you, armed with this information, is to feel AMAZING about your life, and empowered to take CONTROL.

We’re diving into EMOTIONAL eating today, and getting to the heart of WHY we do it, and how to MANAGE it so you can feel better.First up, we’re talking about your BRAIN, of course, and why it does the silly (but biologically important!) things it does.And then we’ll put together a super simple (but not easy) 3-step plan that you can use for EMOTIONAL eating, and so many other times in your life when you’d rather escape your feelings.

This is a big one. We’re talking about how to CHANGE, and that really covers it all:Wanna change your body? Your habits? Your LIFE?Then you need to know and understand THIS.(And yes, I’m intentionally leaving it at that! There are no step-by-step instructions today, or practical advice - this episode is all about a single concept. And it’s probably the most important concept you’ll ever need, if you’re looking for CHANGE.)

We made it! This is Part FOUR of the GOALS series, and it’s the most important one: what to do when you achieve your wildest dreams.You think it’s all going to be puppies and rainbows on the other side of this GOAL work, don’t you? Well… I mean, there might be puppies and there might be rainbows, but also? There might be more mindset work to be done!Today on the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re chatting about life after achieving your GOAL and I’m sharing how reaching a recent revenue goal made me… ANGRY?Yep!The phenomenon we’re discussing - cognitive dissonance - is the reason why some people gain back all the weight they lost, or run one race and then never again.And if you don’t want that to be YOU, there’s a practical step you can take NOW to ensure your long-term success.

Are you afraid to set GOALS? You’re not alone, my friend, and that’s the topic of this week’s Fitness Matters podcast! (...and the last two weeks, and next week!)If you’ve been struggling with setting a GOAL, there’s a pretty good chance you fall into one of two main camps:
