Let's Run Podcast With Pahla B Fitness

You know what the real PROBLEM is? It goes a lot deeper than you think! Today we’re talking about the fitness problems we all have, and how to solve them for yourself.We’re uncovering our thought processes about

Let’s talk about SELF DISCIPLINE, shall we? We shall.

Yep, we’re diving into some feelings again this week with a close-up look at FEAR, and how you can face yours to get the goals you really want for yourself.On the daily, I hear you:“I’m afraid to step on the scale.”“I’m afraid to eat that many calories.”“I’m afraid to sign up for a 5k.”“I’m afraid if I eat something sweet (or salty, or snacky, or whatever) that I won’t stop.”“I’m afraid if I stop exercising for a day that I’ll never start up again.”We are afraid of so many things that aren’t truly fearful.So, let’s uncoverWHAT fear really isWHY we feel itHOW it’s not unlike other emotionsWHY we don’t actually want to stop feeling itAnd - most importantly - HOW to face it and move through itI’ve got straightforward advice and a VERY simple question to ask yourself that can help you face your FEARS.

I have some really unusual advice for you today - we’re chatting about why you should STOP thinking POSITIVELY! (Hint: it’s not giving you the positive results you’re looking for.)Today, I’m sharing a personal story, some notes from my journal, and a couple of practical steps you can take during a situation that doesn’t feel very positive.

You know I can’t resist singing that old song from the ‘70s (and now you will be, too!), but don’t let that distract you from how important this topic is. Your FEELINGS matter when you’re aiming to get a goal!On today’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re chatting all things FEELINGS, and dissecting

How do you SEE yourself, when you look in the mirror or think about your body? It feels true and real, right? But what if it’s not?Today on the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re exploring the ways we SEE ourselves and chatting about

This one gets really DEEP really fast. Today, we’re exploring the cycle of SELF-LOATHING, with a quick conversation about:WHY we do it and why it’s a good idea to stopWHAT self-loathing really is (it’s simpler than you realize!), and HOW three easy words can change it all for youI know it can feel overwhelming to try and stop the cycle of thoughts that’s bringing you down, but I’m here to offer some hope and practical advice from the other side.

There’s got to be a way to handle other peoples’ opinions, right? And I’m not talking about getting mad, walking away, crying, or feeling terrible about yourself. I mean really, truly *accepting* opinions that you don’t agree with.Of course there’s a way to handle it, and of course that’s what we’re discussing on this week’s episode!Along the way on your fitness journey (and my YouTube journey, which is where all my examples are gleaned), other people are going to express their OPINIONS of you, your body, your methods and your results. So let’s figure out how you want to THINK and FEEL about that right now.I’ve got some practical advice, some anecdotes from my own life and lots of mental model theories for you to pack into your bag of tricks.

Let’s talk about COMMITMENT - why it’s good for you and your health and fitness goals, and why we’re all afraid of it! (Hint: it’s your brain being your brain, of course…)I’ve got both practical advice and mental models for you to explore on your journey to commitment. And along the way, I’m sharing funny personal stories of my own commitments, or lack thereof.

As a natural-born CONTROL freak, this topic strikes near and dear to my heart. This week, we’re talking about what you CONTROL, and - maybe more importantly - what you DON’T control.The almost painfully short list of what you DO control - your thoughts, your feelings, your actions and your results - might be things you’ve been tempted to relegate to other people, circumstances, things or situations.And the long list of things you DON’T control - which mostly consists of other people and their thoughts, actions and feelings - are the ones it’s time to let go of.My goal for you, armed with this information, is to feel AMAZING about your life, and empowered to take CONTROL.

We’re diving into EMOTIONAL eating today, and getting to the heart of WHY we do it, and how to MANAGE it so you can feel better.First up, we’re talking about your BRAIN, of course, and why it does the silly (but biologically important!) things it does.And then we’ll put together a super simple (but not easy) 3-step plan that you can use for EMOTIONAL eating, and so many other times in your life when you’d rather escape your feelings.

This is a big one. We’re talking about how to CHANGE, and that really covers it all:Wanna change your body? Your habits? Your LIFE?Then you need to know and understand THIS.(And yes, I’m intentionally leaving it at that! There are no step-by-step instructions today, or practical advice - this episode is all about a single concept. And it’s probably the most important concept you’ll ever need, if you’re looking for CHANGE.)

We made it! This is Part FOUR of the GOALS series, and it’s the most important one: what to do when you achieve your wildest dreams.You think it’s all going to be puppies and rainbows on the other side of this GOAL work, don’t you? Well… I mean, there might be puppies and there might be rainbows, but also? There might be more mindset work to be done!Today on the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re chatting about life after achieving your GOAL and I’m sharing how reaching a recent revenue goal made me… ANGRY?Yep!The phenomenon we’re discussing - cognitive dissonance - is the reason why some people gain back all the weight they lost, or run one race and then never again.And if you don’t want that to be YOU, there’s a practical step you can take NOW to ensure your long-term success.

Are you afraid to set GOALS? You’re not alone, my friend, and that’s the topic of this week’s Fitness Matters podcast! (...and the last two weeks, and next week!)If you’ve been struggling with setting a GOAL, there’s a pretty good chance you fall into one of two main camps:

It’s Part TWO of the GOALS series, and I’m really excited about this one, because it’s nice and practical. There are five steps! And the steps are simple!But they’re not easy.

Here we go! This is the first in a 4-part series about GOALS, and I am so excited to share this with you. Today we’re talking about WHY we (generally) set goals and why I think YOU (yes, you, personally) should set them for yourself.This conversation is the foundation of everything you need to know about setting personal GOALS - WHY is it a good idea? And WHAT will setting goals do for you?The first, and simplest, reason WHY you should set goals is just because you CAN. I mean this both philosophically and practically… as in, you are *capable* of setting goals. Don’t believe me? I’ll offer you some definitive proof, and make the case for stretching your goal-setting muscle onto something bigger and more interesting for yourself.Find out how setting goals for yourself✨ Makes you better at more than just the skills you’ll learn✨ Is a lot like finding out that you’re Spiderman

Having trouble finding MOTIVATION? I’ve got answers for where to look and how to get (and stay!) motivated.Long-time listeners won’t be surprised at the simple two-step process:1. Have a GOAL2. BELIEVE that you can get itAnd today we’re diving deep into that second step with a tool that’s sure to get you excellent results - your FUTURE SELF.Your future self

Learning to TRUST yourself is one of the kindest and most important things you can do in life in general, but also, specifically, on your way to meeting your fitness goals.We all have areas in our lives where we don’t quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite trust ourselves to follow through, but there are actually some very simple steps you can take to rectify this!On this week’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re diving into what it takes to TRUST yourself, and why that includes:Lowering your standardsLooking for “red cars,” andMaking a couple of difficult lists

I think at this point, you know what a big fan I am of setting GOALS, right? But there’s a whole ‘nother layer of goals that we haven’t discussed, and that’s what we’re digging into with this week’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast.Have you ever wondered why you sometimes reach your goal, but don’t feel entirely satisfied with the way it turned out? It’s likely that you had a hidden definition of PERSONAL SUCCESS that you didn’t realize!These sneaky thoughts have the power to derail your progress or leave you confused and unhappy, even when you’re making progress toward your goal. So, let’s chat about what you can DO to feel successful when you reach your goal:

There are some pretty obvious jokes about big “BUTs” on this one, but don’t let that distract you from how important this topic is!The only thing I remember from college is this simple concept about language that I learned in Philosophy 101: Everything after the “but” is the true focus of the sentence.And this applies to you SO much more than you think! Because you? Have some hidden “buts” in your life that are holding you back from getting what you want.During this week’s episode of the Fitness Matters podcast, we’re exploring why the word BUT is so powerful, how it’s stopping you from being happy, and what you can do about it.Because of course there’s a way around the BIG “BUT."
