For years I was convinced I simply wasn't disciplined enough. That I didn't want it enough. That I had no willpower.Today I know that that was never the problem.In this week's episode I'm sharing something deeply personal: the health condition I spent most of my life hiding, how I ignored it until I physically couldn't walk anymore, and what I've since learned about why we avoid the things we most want to change.We go into cognitive dissonance and the incredibly creative ways our brain justifies anything, defensive avoidance and why the motivation to change never seems to last, why pressure and being hard on yourself makes it worse rather than better, and what actually helped me break the cycle.If there's something in your life you want to change SO badly and somehow still can't, this one is for you 🤍

There is such a huge difference between passively consuming content and actively curating what we let into our minds. In this week's episode I break down why it matters so much more than we realise, and exactly how I go about it. I hope you'll enjoy it 🫶🏼This is the episode that focuses on how to curate your offline life: https://open.spotify.com/episode/55BbfnsskiH21jMYTZV4rb?si=ce04661c8c6d4719If you haven't already, make sure to follow the truly well instagram account!! https://www.instagram.com/trulywellpodcast/Lots of love,Nicole

This whole episode is inspired by Erifili Gounari, who came up with a 30 day challenge of shooting delusional shots to create as much luck as possible for ourselves 😍This is her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erifilii/If you haven't listened to the previous episode on being delusional, here it is: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/jbQWXICPD4bI hope you'll enjoy this episode!!

The biggest lie we can tell ourselves is "this is just who I am." I'm just anxious. I'm just not disciplined. I've always been like this. It feels like self-awareness, but it's the most limiting sentence you can say, because the moment you decide something about you is fixed, you stop trying to change it. And the thing is: change is possible.This episode is about neuroplasticity — the science of how our brain physically rewires itself every single day. If you've ever felt stuck, written yourself off as "I'm just that kind of person," or felt like you'll never be able to change, this one is for you 🫶🏼I hope you'll enjoy this episode as much as I did researching it!

"You have to be freakin delusional!!", is what I see all over my Instagram. This delulu is the solulu trend might seem ridiculous, but I went down a neuroscience rabbit hole — and what I found completely changed how I feel about it. It turns out believing before you see it isn't naive. Your brain is doing something real, and kind of incredible, when you do it.But I also found the catch. The exact point where "delulu" stops helping you and starts holding you back. And that part surprised me the most.I hope you'll enjoy this episode as much as I did researching it!

We're half way through this year, and I want us to make the absolute most out of these next 6 months. I want to be honest with you in this one: the last few weeks have not been my best. Nothing horrible happened, I'm fine, I'm healthy, everything's okay, but I'd quietly let myself drift. Skipping workouts. Binge-watching shows. Calling things "self-care" that had actually become self-sabotage. And the frustration of knowing I could do better while not doing better was one of the most uncomfortable feelings I've sat with this year.That's why this week's episode is a little pep talk for you and me, to get back on track, refocus, and re-enter our discipline era 🤍I hope it helps you wherever you are right now, and I send you lots and lots of energy and love!!! 🫶🏼 Thank you so much for listening 🥹LINKS: Whoop 30 day free trial:join.whoop.com/HWHNicoleKerastase Serum:https://go.shopmy.us/p-15406052CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro04:33 Seeking discomfort07:04 Challenge yourself10:41 The 5 non-negotiables15:10 Making progress17:18 The most powerful mindset shift21:20 Stopping the scroll23:49 Consciously seeking inspiration28:43 Wrap up
