Zen Tiger Mind

Belonging grows when kids don’t have to “earn” love by being perfect.

➡️ Today: effort, reset, voice.

➡️ Talk about this with your athletes.
Don’t assume everyone feels free of shame or like an outsider. Give them time to express themselves.

➡️ Practice being open with each other and compassionate. Trust grows. Belonging grows.

💙 Everyone needs to FEEL they belong.

🤩🤩🤩

Practicing Mental Health is caring about thoughts and feelings. It’s being patient with your emotions and taking care of yourself. Autonomy helps you do that!

➡️ Autonomy for Athletes is important for confidence!

➡️ When athletes experience autonomy they feel in charge and lead themselves.

➡️ Autonomy is decision making, it’s doing for the self, caring for the self, and reaching for the goals you’ve set.

➡️ Autonomy is giving power to another to feel ownership and self love.

➡️ Autonomy is what our athletes want and need in order to grow! So let's have fun and teach it to them. You can do it! Let's go!!

Happy world mental health day from Zen Tiger Mind!
