Why "no excuses" isn't discipline with Greg Sutton

In this episode, Nikki is joined by Nutrition & Behavior Change Coach Greg Sutton to talk about discipline, why the fitness industry's "no excuses" version of it can backfire, and the psychological skills that actually help us reach our long term goals.

Topics covered:

Why discipline isn't a well-defined construct in psychology and why this matters when we apply it to our own lives.

Why pushing through pain, injury, burnout or flare-ups isn't actually discipline, even when fitness culture tells us it is.

How all-or-nothing thinking can lead to overdoing it, pain, injury and burn out.

Why self-regulation matters if you want to make progress while dealing with injuries, chronic illness, pain or a body that doesn't always cooperate.

The role of acceptance in making progress and why acceptance isn't the same thing as giving up.
