86. Learning Spanish reminded me how important this is

 

Summary

In this conversation, I share reflections of my personal journey of learning Spanish while living in Mallorca and how they can apply to your nutrition goals.

I emphasise the importance of consistent, small daily actions in achieving language proficiency and personal goals. I discuss the challenges of language learning, the significance of having a clear motivation, and the necessity of tracking progress to stay motivated.

Finally I encourage listeners to set realistic goals and make incremental changes that align with their long-term aspirations.
