The Power of a Positive Mindset (That Isn’t Fluffy or Fake)
Do you ever catch yourself spiraling into negativity—even when most of your ride, workday, or week actually went pretty well? That’s not just a “you” problem—it’s how our brains are wired. But with some intention and awareness, you can start to change that.
In this episode, I’m digging into the science and practicality of positive mindset—not the kind where you pretend everything’s fine, but the kind that helps you notice what is working, so you can build on it. I talk about why your brain naturally focuses on the negative (hello, negativity bias), and how you can start retraining it to be more balanced, especially when it comes to your riding or running a business.
You’ll hear:
Why looking for what’s “right” isn’t toxic positivity—it’s a training tool.
How positive reinforcement affects your learning and motivation.
What I’ve seen shift for my clients when they stop fixating on what went wrong.
Easy, realistic ways to start practicing this—even on tough days.
This mindset work isn’t about ignoring problems. It’s about giving your brain the full picture so it stops sabotaging your progress. If you’ve been stuck in a loop of self-doubt, criticism, or over-analysis, this one’s for you.
