Dr. Gabrielle Lyon

My daughter also has grit and resilience, but I see that she doesn't talk back to her own way of thinking.

She believes

All of the things that she's thinking.

saying she's scared to go do some pushups and she doesn't want to.

And there's just this spin of emotion, which of course, everyone is different.

But my goal is to help teach her how to be able to assess her own thoughts.

Finally, activation.

And this is the ability to select a response that reflects the identity you're building instead of the habit or habits you're looking to break.

You respond from strength, not defensiveness.

How do I break the old habit of switching to a new training program?

Throughout this book, you will find that there is a lot of positivity.
