Peter Sorgenfrei explores how your thoughts affect your body's performance. Negative self-talk limits what you can do in weightlifting or running a 5K, while positive encouragement actually improves your results.

Naomi Judd said, your body hears everything your mind says. So if you're walking around thinking there are certain things you cannot do, you won't be able to do them. A good example is you're exercising and you're trying to lift the weight, and the second you start telling yourself, ah, this is too heavy, I can't do it, you essentially don't and you become weaker. Or if you're going for a run and you're like, I cannot finish this 5-kilometer run, Then, well, most likely you won't. So think about what you're telling yourself. Think about how that manifests itself throughout your body and throughout your day. And then reconsider. Maybe I should say, actually, I can run this 5-kilometer run, or I can lift this weight, or I can have this difficult conversation. Whatever it is that you need to do, try and encourage yourself rather than putting yourself down.
