The Mental Side of Movement: How Your Mindset Shapes Your Habits, Your Healing & Your Long-term Progress w/ Jim & Tom
In today’s episode, we’re exploring the mental side of movement: how your mindset shapes your habits, your healing, and your long-term progress. You'll hear from both Jim and Tom as they unpack what mindset actually means, where it comes from, and why it's the first foundation in any meaningful rehab journey.
We’ll talk about the difference between a fixed and growth mindset, how beliefs influence your behaviours, and how your self-talk can either limit or liberate you. We also dive into real-life examples and offer practical tools you can use to build confidence, self-efficacy, and momentum — starting right now.
Whether you're dealing with foot pain, rebuilding strength, or simply trying to show up more consistently — this conversation might just shift how you think about progress altogether.
