If I were to start my fitness journey from scratch - here’s what I would do and the mindset I would adopt. Whether you’re lacing up your trainers for the first time in your life, revisiting fitness after some time off or maybe simply starting to consider making changes to your lifestyle and build healthier habits - this episode is for you. I hope to give you some pearls of wisdom or help you begin to tune into a process of change with advice I would give the “me” of 4 years ago. I hope this inspires you to view fitness journeys a little differently and gives you some tools to keep with you throughout what will be such a challenging yet completely rewarding transition.  Love always Cass xx Join the conversation on socials! https://www.instagram.com/cassiatierney/  https://www.instagram.com/9lives_podcast/  https://www.tiktok.com/@cassiatierney (01:18) London Marathon recap  (04:18) Intro (04:41) The Human Spirit (07:28) Slow down and enjoy it more (8:43) Try not to get overwhelmed by all the information (13:32) Learn about the functions of the body and brain (15:18) Reading and researching (17:30) Work with my mental illness, not against it (19:39) Eat more  (24:04) Stop following fitness influencers  (27:36) Lift weights more  (30:50) Lean into the delusion because you’re manifesting your dream life without even knowing it (33:20) Don’t aim for perfect
