Is your brain trying to quit before your body does?

In this episode of Unstoppable by Design, Matt and Anna Terry dive into the "invisible weight" of negative self-talk. Whether you’re mid-workout at the gym or tackling a difficult project at work, the way you talk to yourself determines your output.

We break down the Catch, Check, Change framework. A simple, actionable tool to help you recognize the inner critic, audit the facts, and reframe your instructions to keep moving forward.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The physiology of "I Can't" (and how cortisol affects your performance).

• Why your brain is hardwired to look for the negative (The RAS).

• The "Third-Person" trick to distance yourself from pain.

• Why "I'm Learning" is more powerful than "I Can't."

In this episode of Unstoppable By Design, host Matt Terry discusses the importance of mental resilience in achieving fitness goals. He explains how staying present and making good choices under fatigue leads to better pacing and consistent training. Matt introduces the 'Next Rep Protocol,' a four-step method to build mental resilience during workouts. The protocol involves recognizing the urge to stop, taking two slow breaths, committing to one more quality rep or 10 steady seconds, and then reassessing. This method teaches the brain to see discomfort as a signal rather than a stop sign, ultimately boosting confidence and effectiveness in training. Listeners are encouraged to practice this protocol in two workouts over the next week to improve their mental toughness.

Building Daily Routines: Two Simple Anchors for Consistency

In this episode of 'Unstoppable By Design,' Matt Terry introduces two small, yet effective daily routines – or 'anchors' – that can vastly improve consistency and set the foundation for better habits, both in and out of the gym. The morning anchor helps to wake up the body and set a calm pace for the day, while the evening anchor prepares for the next day, reducing friction and the number of decisions to be made. These practical and simple activities require minimal time and can easily be integrated into daily life.
