We know the answer to this question, obviously.

The issue that I find is how some people understand this, but think โ€œ๐“ž๐“ฑ, ๐“ซ๐“พ๐“ฝ ๐“˜โ€™๐“ถ ๐“ญ๐“ฒ๐“ฏ๐“ฏ๐“ฎ๐“ป๐“ฎ๐“ท๐“ฝ.โ€

Yes, you are different AND why not do what you can to have the best result possible?

If that means no longer hanging with people that arenโ€™t doing the right thingsโ€ฆ okay.

If that means talking to someone about whatโ€™s going on in your lifeโ€ฆokay.

If that means no longer using harmful things to cover up what you feelโ€ฆokay

Whatever it is, handle whatโ€™s going on outside of the sport because ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ.

Rushing around wonโ€™t stop me from being grateful! Grateful Friday has arrived!

Lately, Iโ€™ve been grateful for my job/career. I recently had a chance to speak with a group of teens about bullies and how we see ourselves. When introducing myself, I said that I was a therapist and how itโ€™s the best job in the world for me. I told them that it feels good being a place/person of hope for people who canโ€™t see hope right now.

When I said that, I paused for a short momentโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s not an easy career to be in, but I love it. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Sometimes we just need somebody to remind us that we can keep going. Itโ€™s why I love trainers and coaches!

Theyโ€™ll see that youโ€™re tired and will still say โ€œYou got one more!โ€

You got this. You can keep going.

Another opportunity for some gratitude on this Grateful Friday!

Iโ€™m so grateful for our landscape guy!
We have trees, bushes, and other things that would require a lot of work and equipment if we did it all ourselves.
Also, anytime I have a question about the irrigation system or the plants, he has an answer for me.

So again, gratitude for our landscaping guy. Youโ€™re skilled, knowledgeable, and caring! ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ˜

What are you developing now?

You can learn and gain a lot in the off-season then use all that knowledge/skill/speed/strength during the season.

Happy Grateful Friday folks!

Iโ€™m grateful for having a working a car. Itโ€™s not fancy, but it works. ๐Ÿ˜

Today Iโ€™ve been able to drive to meetings, get Chipotle for lunch, and ice-cream for a sweet treat later.

Having a car helps a lot. Iโ€™m grateful for my ride! ๐Ÿš˜

Learning how to be mindful of your emotions and not letting them overwhelm you is a HARD and NECESSARY skill.

Find someone who can guide you in this the right way.

You donโ€™t have to be trapped and react to what people are saying all the time.
