Sarah and Amanda speak with Dr. Alice Boyes, a former clinical psychologist and author of The Healthy Mind Toolkit, about how to beat mental exhaustion. Dr. Boyes details: -what the “step-up approach” is—and how to use it to your advantage; -why replicating your current systems might be better (and easier!) than creating a new system; -how the adage, “Too busy chasing cows to build a fence,” applies to us all; -the importance of pleasurable routines in our daily lives; and, -the “secret resource” for emotional support. The mother runner duo talks swimming in the intro, with the guest jumping in at 11:06. When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR. We appreciate your—and their—support!
