Manage Your Mind Mindful Moment - Overcoming All or Nothing Thinking
Sick of falling off the wagon — again? This episode is for you.
That old “wagon” everyone keeps falling off of? It’s not helping you. In fact, it’s keeping you stuck in the same frustrating cycle.
In this episode of Opt to Thrive, Dr. Corina Sims takes a sledgehammer to one of the most persistent mindset traps holding midlife women back: all-or-nothing thinking.
You’ll learn why this black-and-white way of thinking sabotages your health goals — and how to replace it with something better, more flexible, and far more sustainable.
Inside this episode:
- 🔥 Why “the wagon” needs to be chopped up and used as firewood
- ⚠️ Sneaky ways all-or-nothing thinking shows up in real life
- 🧠 What it really means when you think, “I’ve already blown it, so I may as well keep going”
- 🔄 The 4-step reframing method to shift your thoughts and get back on track
- 🫶 How to treat yourself like a friend, not a failure
- 💡 Simple thought swaps you can use right now to build consistency and momentum — even when life isn’t perfect
A few reframes you’ll take away:
- “This wasn’t perfect, but it’s still progress.”
- “One decision doesn’t undo all my effort.”
- “Even though ___, I can still ___.”
- “I’m not failing — I’m learning.”
Whether you’re working on moving more, eating better, or simply showing up for yourself — this episode will help you ditch the perfection trap and build a mindset that keeps you moving forward.
🎧 Tune in now and let’s burn that wagon together. Your midlife momentum starts here.
