S6 EP2: Beating Your Confirmation Bias

Have you ever set yourself up for a bad week? Or set yourself up
to miss your workout? You might think that the answer is no, but
it’s actually pretty easy to set yourself up for failure using
your own confirmation bias. Instead, you want to set yourself up
for success. Listen to Rachael and Kelsea discuss the concept of
“predictive whining”, how to see possibilities rather than
limitations, and why you need to understand that you can’t
predict the future.
