Your Brain Might Be the No. 1 Thing Holding You Back

the lies you tell yourself and how to overcome them

Do you want to know the No. 1 thing holding you back from the life you want? It’s not your family, your job, or your responsibilities.

It’s you.

More specifically, it’s your brain.

That might sound surprising, but our own minds often kick out the most persistent stories of doubt, overwhelm, and exhaustion more than any other outside influence. Think of it as an enemy within whose job is to keep you from taking the necessary action to get what you truly want.

The Lies in Your Head

Ask yourself:
👉🏽 Who tells you that you’re not this enough or that enough?
👉🏽 Who whispers that it’s a waste of time to start?
👉🏽 Who insists you’ll never get anywhere so “why bother”?

Over and over, it’s your own brain.

Why This Happens

This internal voice isn’t “natural truth.” It’s the result of conditioning past experiences, societal pressures, and programmed fears. Once you realize the liar inside your head was put there, you can start to take away its power.

The game changes when you learn to:

  1. Recognize the lies for what they are.
  2. Interrupt them in the moment.
  3. Replace them with something encouraging, positive, and action-based.

How to Break the Cycle

  • Name it. When the voice says, “I can’t,” label it: “That’s the lie talking.”
  • Choose a counter-thought. Replace the doubt with something like, “I’ve done hard things before, and I can do this.”
  • Act, even if small. Show your mind you won’t be paralyzed by fear.

The more often you recognize and redirect, the weaker those old patterns become.

Why This Matters for Your Health and Fitness

When you’re trying to create change whether that’s building strength, improving mobility, or reducing pain the biggest hurdles are rarely physical at the start. They’re mental.
