Let's Run Podcast With Pahla B Fitness

Have you ever noticed how many times you use the word “should” in your everyday life, especially when talking about yourself? “I SHOULD sleep more. I SHOULD have reached my goal weight by now. I SHOULD be more active.” It can sound like a broken record! And the worst part is the end result: We often “should” ourselves into not getting the OUTCOMES we want.In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast we’re talking about this POWERFUL word and the FEELINGS and RESULTS it can create in our lives. Many times, using this term day after day can generate frustration, regret, guilt, or sadness. And we often use the expression without even thinking.But how can we change a HABIT that’s become second nature to us? I’m digging in and talking specifically about weight loss as an example, but rest assured that this conversation is applicable to almost ANY SITUATION! If you find yourself pressured by all the “shoulds” you’ve allowed into your life and want to create a BETTER way of feeling, listen now!

BAD DAYS. Yep, we’ve all had ‘em. The anger, frustration, and other feelings we experience when we think things aren’t going our way. And the helplessness that puts a metaphorical cloud over our heads. But what if I told you that managing bad days can actually result in a DEEPER and more SATISFYING LIFE? And that you can make this happen yourself with just a little practice? In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, I’m diving into what it means to have a BAD DAY and sharing an experience from my own life. When you’re having a bad day, do you ever think: “What is WRONG with me?” When I asked myself this exact question, lots of things came up, including something that WOKE ME UP to a new way of thinking.We’re picking apart this example, and I’m showing you that silver-lining thinking might seem helpful, but THIS alternative leads to a deeper understanding and appreciation of your experience.Join me now in this enlightening podcast that will change the way you approach “bad days” and give you the tools

On a scale from one to 10, how would rate your feelings about your ... ahem ... scale? When you step on it, what goes through your mind as you await the number on the screen?In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re diving into the topic of the FEELINGS you have about the scale and how that inanimate object seems like it causes them (it doesn’t, but I’ll tell you what does). Why does it matter?Because your feelings can drive indecision on how to move forward or - worse yet - negative results with your WEIGHT LOSS goal.I’m sharing a magic trick you can use RIGHT NOW to take the power away from your scale and put it back in your own hands. We’re going to “weigh our options” (sorry, I couldn’t resist) on how to approach the scale, and I’m giving you a challenge that won’t weigh you down (yep, I did it again). Join me now to FEEL BETTER about the scale!

Where are you in your journey of self-love? This is the question we’re asking ourselves in today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast.To be honest, I used to not really think about this topic. Or when I did, I used an archaic four-step process to gauge how I felt. But in time, I discovered that this process was actually pushing me in the opposite direction of where I wanted to go. Do you sometimes feel that SELF-LOVE is out of your reach too?Today we’re chatting about how to LOVE YOURSELF, and there are plenty of real life examples, including lessons I’ve learned from training my dog Blossom and the time I crab-crawled down a steep hill (these stories are more related than you think!).Are there things about yourself that you see as unlovable? If so, today’s conversation may be just what you need to TURN THINGS AROUND. After all, your relationship with yourself serves as the foundation to your relationship with the world at large - and ultimately the RESULTS you get in it.Join me now, and let’s talk about

CHANGE: it can be a tricky thing. I often say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but so often our brains offer us that we need to change. So… how can you CHANGE, while still doing the same (right) things?In today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re talking about CHANGE and how putting your brain in a position of power makes it easier to get your GOALS. I’m covering what I call the Three Cs of CHANGE, and revealing what happened to me when I started using them. Embracing this concept can lead to ideas and action items instead of self-judgement, and asking yourself the right questions can promote GROWTH instead of negativity.In short, when you put the Three Cs of CHANGE into place, magic happens!Are you happy with the RESULTS you’re getting in the world? Does the thought of CHANGE make you want to crawl back into bed and hide? If so, this podcast is for you!
