Today, we are joined by Sam Capps and we discuss the process of understanding yourself on a deeper level. Sam has been on his own journey of understanding himself better for a number of years, particularly relating to accepting himself and gaining clarity of his own why. We explore the relationship we can form with fitness as an identity, using certain methods as a crutch for feelings, as well as the self development sources which can both positively and negatively impact you depending on your existing mindset. There has never been a better time to look inwards, ask ourselves some deeper questions, and understand what really drives us. I hope this episode provides some questions you can ask of yourself and a roadmap on how to move forward in having deeper honesty in your internal dialogue.
