Negative thoughts are normal and everyone gets them. No one can be positive 100% of the time. The problem is when we feed the negative thoughts are they begin to take over our mind. When this happens we feel bad and no doubt in sports or the workplace our performance will reflect our mindset. A few ways to help with negative thinking: ... 1)Become aware of your thoughts & feelings. Just notice them & imagine putting them on a leaf and watch them go down stream. 2)Be aware of how powerful your words are & began to speak loving words to yourself. 3)Practice Mindfulness #mindfulness #positivethinking #cbt #negativethinking #aware #emotionalwellness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #peakperformance #athletes #athleticperformance #sportsperformance #sports #mindset #running #tracklife #sportspsychology #bobrotella #championmindset #champions

Another skillset of a champion is having the mindset of refusing to lose! No matter where you are at in your competition you must have this mindset. Keep moving forward no matter what. When it comes down to tough games many times it hinges on the team/individual that had the best mental game.

Therapy tip Thursday! If you find yourself extremely anxious, having a flashback, panic or derealization (feeling outside your body) try this grounding technique. Bring yourself back to the PRESENT by focusing and using all of your senses. 5: Acknowledge FIVE things you see around you. 4: Acknowledge FOUR things you can touch around you.... 3: Acknowledge THREE things you hear. 2: Acknowledge TWO things you can smell. 1: Acknowledge ONE thing you can taste. If you struggle with panic, anxiety or PTSD there is help for you! Call your doctor for a recommendation for a therapist.
