Soul Performance

You have the mental skills within you to be your best in stressful conditions.

You just need to cultivate them.

Try these self-talk strategies the next few times you’re nervous and see what works best for you in different moments.

You might find what works in one moment doesn’t work in another. So keep testing. Your best is a continuous process.

I believe your core confidence comes from a place of knowing who you are and fully embracing that self. Complete self-acceptance.

Facebook let’s get clear on this right here.
“High performance” (however that appears in your life) is about maintaining your authentic self despite the challenging circumstances. Once you can be calm, confident, focused, and optimistic in environments that used to disrupt the command of your mental/emotional/technical skills, you’re well on your way to living with a high performance mindset.

Did you know most animals breathe through the nose when they run? Until recently, I hadn't the slightest clue. For the sake of performance and well-being, it's nice to know.

Are you a mouth breather? Try this. Imagine you're exercising. Your heart rate is high. Your breathing is heavy...

You are so damn important. Even when it doesn’t feel like it, you are worth so much more than your depression.

Most importantly, you’re not alone. There is always help and there is always hope.

When we open up and talk about mental health struggles, we loosen its hold on us. We prove to ourselves and others that it doesn’t dictate who we are.

✳️ So show your vulnerable side. It’s the STRONGEST part of you. ✳️

Talk to friends. Talk to family. Talk to mental health professionals. Talk to me. This goes for those of us who are struggling AND those of us who are ready to help. Start the conversation.

With optimism,
Scott
