If you dont believe words can give hope or cause harm, you only have to observe the impact of a parent talking mindfully or mindlessly to a child. When coaching someone to high intensity, we experience identical impact. Under high intensity effort, the brain is primed to internalize dialogue, being in a state that psychologists call hyper-suggestible. A bad coach mindlessly barks punishment for insufficient effort, where a good coach mindfully reinforces proper technique. You are your own most revered coach, and your most impacted athlete. Tell yourself: --> Everything will work out through your daily baby steps. --> Its going to get better because progress is impossible to stop. --> You are important and worthy of greatness. --> The time IS now for you and you are ready. --> That the hardship will pass because you are determined. --> You may feel weak, but you are strong because you keep going, and because you keep going, youre growing even stronger. --> You CAN do this because you ARE doing it; its about to be done and youll be so proud that you did. We believe what we tell ourselves, especially under high intensity experiences. Train your mind as you train your body. Very Respectfully, Scott Sonnon facebook/ScottSonnon
