Our mindset determines our motivation and our willingness to act. Mindset encompasses both self-talk AND the way we frame situations we experience. If we choose to, we can “listen in” on what we say to ourselves and how we interpret events. If your clients’ inner critics are constantly judging their hard efforts at the gym (“You’ve always been weak, why bother?”, “You never stick to anything, this won’t be any different.”), it can undermine your work with them.
