"You can think your way into a new way of acting, or act your way into a new way of thinking."
- Sometimes we can’t wait for the right mindset to show up. Sometimes we have to step into the behavior first, and trust that the mindset will follow.
- Credit is due James Loehr the author of "Mental Toughness Training for Athletes."
- He says we tend to reside in three energy states:
1. Relaxed-Ready,
2. Positive-Energized,
3. Negative-Energized
4. and the dreaded Negative-Fatigued
- To move out of the more negative states into the positive ones we need to use our emotions as data. What are they telling us?
- Instead of resisting how we feel, we can respond with tools like:
1. deep breathing,
2. focusing on the next small step,
3. reframing self-talk
4. and leaning on others.
MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
