Episode 2597:

Discover the true extent of your control over personal well-being in Rachel Trotta's insightful article. She explores the often misunderstood boundary between what we can directly manage - our habits and responses - and what we can only influence indirectly, like our weight and genetics. Rachel's guidance offers a liberating perspective on focusing energy on actionable, behavioral goals, paving the way for a healthier self-esteem and a more fulfilling life.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://racheltrotta.com/fitness/identifying-what-you-can-and-cant-control/

Quotes to ponder:

"Self-worth is unshakeable. Inherent. Innate. It’s the core value that you have because you are born, because you are here, because you are simply existing."

"When you shift your focus to what you can control (i.e. your behaviors), you’ll find that - reassuringly you’re in control of an awful lot."

"Instead of deciding whether or not your week was successful based on whether or not you lost weight, you measure progress by whether or not you met your eating and exercise goals."
