Carolyn Scott Kortge offers tips and advice to walkers as well as information about the contents of her book. Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you’re probably right.”—Henry Ford, Most of us talk to ourselves all the time, and often the words we hear are critical. We second guess and nit-pick, finding fault with everything from the way we look to the chocolate urge we gave into at the candy machine. We berate ourselves for not sticking with exercise programs, and drag around a cloud of doubt that obscures our goals and our strengths. It takes more than “positive thinking” to reverse the nay-sayer inside. It takes awareness and what researchers call “cognitive restructuring.” For walkers, that can be as simple as learning to question the voice that whines, “I’m too tired to exercise today.” Is that true, or is it a pattern that dooms your workout to failure? By becoming aware of the mental patterns that batter at self-confidence, we are better able to talk back mentally with language that “restructures” believes and says “Yes, I can.”
