"You can think your way into a new way of acting, or act your way into a new way of thinking."

• Sometimes we can’t wait for the right mindset to show up. Sometimes we have to step into the behavior first, and trust that the mindset will follow.
  
  
• Credit is due James Loehr the author of "Mental Toughness Training for Athletes." 
  
  
• He says we tend to reside in three energy states: 
  1. Relaxed-Ready, 
  2. Positive-Energized, 
  3. Negative-Energized 
  4. and the dreaded Negative-Fatigued
  
  
• To move out of the more negative states into the positive ones we need to use our emotions as data. What are they telling us? 
  
  
• Instead of resisting how we feel, we can respond with tools like: 
  1. deep breathing, 
  2. focusing on the next small step, 
  3. reframing self-talk 
  4. and leaning on others. 

MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
