Even the Blue Angels have a case of imposter syndrome from time to time, just like professional athletes, and you and me. We doubt ourselves not because of our abilities, but because we are human. We need to talk to ourselves, not just listen to ourselves and use tools like hero bars to remind us we are capable.

Excellence is a Choice, but Abraham Maslow tells us "What one can be one must be". Choose Excellence.

The Blue Angels have a saying. "I'm just glad to be here" It's a beautiful expression of not only loving what is, but also loving who is.

Protocols are the behaviours that allow us to be our best self. Just like a good contract, a good protocol has bright lines that allow you to know what the best behaviour is.

 Repeatedly doing what we say we will do, practicing our habits builds trust.  Trust in ourselves creates confidence to handle whatever life throws our way.

We need to pay attention to what works for us and what doesn't work. How we function when we're on and off and make the connection to those behaviours that allow us to be our best.
