#128 - A Powerful Exercise to Turn Negative Self Talk into Positive Self Talk

All athletes have an inner critic -- that little voice that sounds a lot like a critical parent or friend who wants the best for you. However, the inner critic can often bring more harm than good, particularly when it’s more toward the negative side.

Lewis goes through a powerful exercise that will help you turn your negative self-talk into positive self-talk.
