Have you ever had a thought and told yourself you were going to write it down, but didn't? Mona developed a five-step practice to stop doing that.

Episode 8 of Dear Mango is about preparing for therapy sessions as a way to honor your voice. The five steps Mona uses to capture, process, prioritize, and release what comes up between sessions. The same practice she hadn't shared with her own therapist until now.

Reflection prompt: What would you put on your list if you created a note right now?

Write now. Revisit later. Or take it to your next therapy session.

Confidence in yourself is a practice. 

Trusting yourself is a practice. 

Taking actions that allow people to trust you is a practice. 

And all the above starts with studying yourself.

Jose Alvarado could have tested the market. Instead, he signed three more years with the team he rooted for as a kid. Betting on yourself can get you the dream and a payday down the court. Pure joy is a practice. And he's demonstrating a masterclass on and off the court.

Some companies want you to move like an I to prove you're a leader. Some want you to move like a we to prove you're a team player. And then they move the goalpost.

The Lakers won a championship in the bubble, pandemic, four months after Kobe transitioned, and were united across the league speaking out against social injustice. You can't preach teamwork and then almost immediately discard players. Makes me think about how companies move with mergers and acquisitions. Playing dirty gets you short-term wins. It doesn't get you long-term success. And I stand on that.

I watched the press run after the Knicks' Championship game. And while everyone was focused on OG’s play, I was surprised nobody acknowledged what he was carrying the way they talked about what everyone else was carrying. 

Happy Father's Day to the fathers still here. The ones who created memories with us. And the ones who didn’t get to see who we’ve become.

In our lives, we come across signs, magic, and serendipitous moments. That quiet acknowledgment you have with yourself is a private moment. And what people witness are the outcomes of what those moments create within you.

Happy Father's Day to the fathers still here. The ones who created memories with us through basketball. And the ones who give us signs.
