Shift Your Inner Narrative: From Negative Self-Talk to What’s Working with Glen Lubbert

On this Healthy Waves episode, Avik and performance coach Glen Lubbert break down a practical framework for replacing harsh self-talk with useful language and action. You’ll learn the “8 magic words” that open possibility (right now, so far, not yet, at least), how to spot exceptions to stuck patterns, and simple end-of-day prompts that shift you from guilt to progress. We cover burnout signals, building on existing wins, and a 5-minute reset you can start tonight

 

About the guest  :

Glen Lubbert is a Division I athlete turned health innovator, certified performance and sleep & recovery coach, and founder of Stamina Lab. His solution-focused approach helps people create change by amplifying what already works.

 

Key takeaways:

• Your brain’s negativity bias is normal; notice it and separate “thoughts” from “you.”

• Swap absolute self-talk (“I always procrastinate”) with the 8 magic words: right now, so far, not yet, at least.

• Keep the data, drop the drama: keep facts, soften the tone, choose the next useful step.

• Look for exceptions: when the problem didn’t happen or was smaller—then repeat what made that possible.

• Track three daily signals of what worked (e.g., energy, clarity, a kind choice) to build momentum.

• Define “what you want instead,” then describe that future in vivid detail; your brain works toward clear targets.

• There are many paths to the same river: don’t fixate on one “right” routine; find small, doable moves now.

• Burnout: first name what you want to feel instead; then recall evidence of past hard things you handled—capacity over guilt.

• A quick 5-minute nightly reset: 1) level breath, 2) list what moved you forward today, 3) set one boundary for tomorrow, 4) thank your body.

• Progress beats perfection: amplify bright spots; repeat what already works.
