Differentiating between story and fact is the starting place for all of my coaching. Here’s why: the concept of what’s true is entirely subjective.
We all live in the world and go about our business making observations of the world around us and believing what we observe is just the way things are or the truth.
One of my goals for the remainder of the year (and beyond!) is to provide more value to the world. Specifically related to mindset training. I feel so fortunate to work with athletes the way that I do and my hope is to extend my reach a little further! With that being said, today is day one of my 30 blogs in 30 days project!
Ultimately, we can only live in the here and now. We cannot live in the past and we cannot live in the future. Both only exist in our minds and effect us in the present by way of our thoughts. That means our alternative futures always include a choice between repeating the results of our past/being at the effect of life OR creating new results based on beliefs that support who we want to become.
If it’s a different result than you have right now, most likely it’s hard to achieve. Here’s the secret: change is hard on purpose. Just like a good amount of our individual training sessions are hard to make us physically stronger, there is a fair amount of work needed to make us mentally stronger.
When I think about the last decade of my life; from who I thought I was, to who I wanted to be, to who I have become, this quote feels oh-so-relatable. The times when I stepped into the unknown were some of my greatest growth experiences. And the times when I chose to stay small or safe were when I felt the most inauthentic.
