Minisode: The Mind-Body Connection - Your Body Knows When You're Lying to Yourself
08 Sep 2025
Ever wonder why you can say all the right things about getting healthy but still feel completely unmotivated? In this mini-episode, I dive into the disconnect between what we tell ourselves and what we actually feel in our bodies. Drawing from an incredible conversation with a creative entrepreneur who took a terrifying leap to follow her dreams, I explore why positive thinking only works when your whole self is on board. If you've been struggling with self-doubt, negative self-talk, or feeling stuck despite your best intentions, this episode reveals the missing piece that changes everything.✓ Stop fighting your gut feelings - If saying "I love working out" makes you feel anxious, your body is telling you something important✓ Check in with your physical responses - Are you feeling expansion and excitement, or tension and dread?✓ Small aligned actions beat big forced ones - You don't need to have the whole path figured out✓ Your inner critic isn't the enemy - It's trying to protect you, but you can work with it instead of against itQuestions to Ask Yourself:When I say positive things about my health goals, how does my body actually feel?What stories am I telling myself that keep me stuck?What would taking one small, good-feeling step look like today?CONNECT WITH AM:WEBSITE: AMCOSTANZO.COMPINTEREST: ACOSTANZOINSTAGRAM: AGING.FIERCELY This is a public episode.
