## Resource

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Hard. This word may be deciding how your brain approaches a new habit or behavior. You have probably said it a hundred times that something is just too hard. What if the word itself is the thing standing in your way? Instead, swap ‘this is hard’ for ‘this is a challenge’. Is that any better? Jenn breaks down the surprising brain science behind the words we use every day and why some words send us straight into avoidance mode before we even get started. Could one simple word-sway actually rewire your brain and make change feel possible? The answer might surprise you. Like what you're hearing?
