Welcome back to the Muscle Intelligence Podcast. This is another Q&A session with the wonderful Ashleigh VanHouten from Paleo Magazine. Today on this #MondayMindset episode, we discuss the benefits of habit stacking: introducing a small weekly or daily habit, that will slowly and incrementally stack on your previous self and keep making you better and better. Many people today are overwhelmed and burdened by what success means, and a victim mindset is one that can hold you back from living your best life. In this episode, we encourage you to pay attention to the words we all use by exploring the effects a victim mindset can have on your daily life. This week, we challenge you to remove five victim words and phrases from your vocabulary and begin to stack this habit incrementally. In addition, we also cover topics such as: building a water-drinking habit that sticks, the effects of coffee on your gut health, the components in intelligence coffee, and how to stop the negative people in your life from holding you back from becoming the best version of you.
