The Journey with Clayton Nelson
The mission of this podcast is to build a supportive community where we explore the transformative journeys of our guests, celebrating the challenges they've overcome and the wisdom gained. Through authentic storytelling, I aim to inspire and uplift listeners, urging them to persevere through challenging times by drawing strength from others. It is my goal to ignite a spark within each listener, prompting them to reflect on the past storms they have weathered, recognize the lessons and personal growth they have experienced, and empower them to endure future challenges. By sharing our own mistakes and failures, I want to create a ripple effect, enabling others to learn and grow so they can reach their goals. I want to help people realize that if you don't quit, you can't lose. Keep showing up.
The Journey with Clayton Nelson
How Self-Talk Can Change Everything (How I've Become a Positive Person) | Ep. 171
In this episode, I talk about the power of words—and how what you say out loud can shape how you think, feel, and show up every day. I reflect on a story Jesse Itzler shared about running a 100-mile race, and how his self-talk carried him through the darkest moments.
I also share how one of the most impactful mentors in my life, Coach Old May, used to tell me, “We don’t have time for bad days.” That mindset stuck with me—and I believe it’s one of the reasons I’m such a joyful and grounded person today.
