Mini-Clinic: Trash talk

Service Description

A lot of people think motivation comes from discipline, willpower, or “trying harder.” But for many of us, especially as we get older, motivation quietly gets crushed by the constant stream of criticism running through our own heads. In this mini-clinic, we’ll explore how self-talk affects stress, energy, eating habits, exercise consistency, confidence, and even physical health. We’ll look at the hidden ways people accidentally discourage themselves every day and how to replace that inner commentary with something far more effective. This is not about fake positivity or standing in front of a mirror chanting affirmations like an exhausted life coach trapped in a candle store. It’s about learning how to talk to yourself in a way that actually helps your nervous system, your habits, and your long-term success. Especially helpful if you find yourself: - Starting and stopping health goals repeatedly - Feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or “behind” - Dealing with stress, chronic pain, emotional eating, or burnout - Being hard on yourself You’ll leave with practical tools to catch destructive thought patterns, build more supportive internal habits, and create motivation that feels steadier, calmer, and more sustainable.
