Mindset Matters

Simply stated, your dream is not a plan. Dreams have no cost. Plans have a value attached to them, and they can cost you time, effort, sweat, and money sometimes.

The great one's try again today when yesterday didn't go so well. The great one's are a little bit better today than they were yesterday. Be grateful. Be grateful for your body. Be grateful for your teammates. Be grateful for your family and friends who support you. This gratitude will be key to your success.

Start concentrating on what you are "for" and stop focusing on what you are "against." There are too many "anti's" in this world. Think about how much better your life could be if you constantly focused on what you are "for" and let people in on all the things that you support! There is power in supporting. There is destruction in complaining.

Do your best to combat the creature. Using imagery, counter arguments, and the word "yet" can do wonders when it comes to negative self-talk.

Start your book. Start your blog. Start your new career. Start your podcast. Start that new class. Whatever it is, just start.

Learn how to control your emotions by being mindful and aware. There is always something good around the corner. Make sure you are there to enjoy it.

The secret to any goal is to break it down into small bites. Creation of micro goals each day can help you with your daily grind, and more importantly, help you to achieve your macro goals.

Your responsibility to your athlete is first and foremost to be their parent. Make sports enjoyable. Don't make the car ride home a coffin that your child cannot escape. It will make you and your athlete much happier.

First of all, know that you are not the only one experiencing imposter syndrome. There are a whole slew of entrepreneurs, collegiate and professional athletes, and CEO's that experience imposter syndrome. It's much more common than you may think.

It's been proven over and over again scientifically that breathing reduces anxiety, increases organ function, increases brain function, and sharpens physical coordination. When is the last time you practiced breathing with a purpose? Do it. It can make all the difference.

Practicing stepping out of your comfort zone is one of the best ways to build confidence for any sort of performance scenario. As you continue to do things you normally wouldn't do, you will see your confidence soar!

"Be grateful and tell people that you are grateful. Sometimes a simple letter of gratitude can make all the difference in a relationship." --Riley Jensen

"Simply put, authentic people live within the boundaries of the values and principles that they believe in." --Riley Jensen

The truth is, you ALWAYS have a choice.

Sometimes the load you are carrying is just what you need to be happy and successful.
