How a Psychologist Became a MARATHON Runner | Dr. Rami Nader

This channel usually focuses on psychology and mental health issues, but this video explains how psychology can apply to everyday life. In July 2018, I decided to run a marathon, despite never having run before. It all started with the thought, “I could never do that”, which was followed by an epiphany and questioning why I could never run a marathon. Our internal dialogue shapes our beliefs and limits us. By challenging my belief, I ran not only one marathon, but four marathons since then, including the New York and Chicago marathons. My goal is to complete all six world major marathons, with the next one being the Boston marathon in April 2025. But this isn’t just about running; it’s a metaphor for achieving big goals in life. We all have “marathons” we think we can’t do. By questioning these beliefs and using psychological tools, we can achieve remarkable things. I hope this inspires you to recognize and challenge your own limiting beliefs.

Me and my wife have tried to start a family for the past 3 years but with no success. We are now going down the route of IVF to make this happen, it's not how we planned it but we want a family so bad.

I won't lie, it fills me with fear knowing this could fail and then it begs the queation - what next? But, we'll push forward. There's nothing more important to us right now.

Congrats on the marathons and fingers crossed you'll make the Boston marathon!
