Hi All,

New blog post about self-acceptance. In my opinion, a 🔑 foundation for healthy self improvement.

Self-Acceptance — REMODIC While high performers have taken significant steps to improve themselves time and time again, they are not immune to the common insecurities that we all face. All athletes have struggles with self acceptance.

(Self awareness + Self acceptance) x growth mindset = 📈🚀

That's not a proper math equation 😬🤣... maybe a math wiz out in SM land could help me improve that? 😉... but here is my point.

To accelerate our growth we first need to build self awareness. We need to understand where we are NOW. A great way to build self awareness is by reflecting in a journal regularly or thoughtfully debriefing our activities (training, races, etc.).

Next, we need self acceptance to manage that knowledge. We need to love ourselves and accept ourselves wherever we are on our journey. We need to understand that we are more than enough already but out of this acceptance comes a healthy desire to seek self improvement.

When we have those two mental skills rolling, then we can cultivate a growth mindset to tackle where we want to go & who we want to be. Because nothing is fixed. You can improve anything you want in this life. But remember, growth only happens when we know and accept where we are NOW.

From what I can see, working with athletes and coaches, I think we can all lean into both self awareness and self acceptance more.

This post was inspired by a chat with on the side of the ski trail last week and then a morning run to solidify my thinking (picture from the run😉). If your looking for a positive presence in your life then give John a follow.
