The Love the Inner Athlete Podcast | Sink Mental Toughness Myths

defeat myths inner athlete mental fitness mental toughness sleep scores Jan 25, 2023

I’ve got news. I’m going to be like a fisherman and cast it to you. Hopefully it will reel you in.

 

I’ve got a name for my podcast. I think you will get hooked. The net result — you will learn how to sink the mental toughness myths. Bring mental fitness to the surface.

 

Watch for the Love the Inner Athlete Podcast. I’m excited because I think you are going to love the guests. 

 

I am a bit overwhelmed as I have realized all the things that are required to challenge the mental toughness myths. All while seeing 20+ athletes every week.

 

It pushed me for growth. I’ve realized the mental toughness myths created PITS for me.

 

I’ve known but never really completely acknowledge that I have attention issues. My wife says the dog knows — he follows me knowing I will drop food and not know.

 

I decided it was time to dig into it. I took a test of variable attention. It emphatically showed I had ADD.

 

I believed I could manage it and planned to just continue. I was talking with someone I respect about the results. She suggested meds because It was game changing for her.

 

I thought no way. I stigmatized myself.

 

Next day I took my daily medication for acid reflux. I never stigmatized myself for that. I accepted it would improve my life and decrease risks for cancer.

 

I guess I wasn’t born in a log cabin I built myself (LOL). Me and no one would label me as weak.

 

I  landed on — try it. See what it does. It may improve the quality of your life.

 

It did. Game changer. I use a whoop and a couple biofeedback devices daily. My sleep scores and biofeedback scores have dramatically increased. Changed the game for me. Another myth defeated.

 

I am still GOD’s kid. Still loved by the same people. I won’t be convicted of anything. Better me. And it already helped me to better tackle the myths. Eventually I’ll tackle like the ’85 Bears instead of the ’22 Vikings.

 

Change the conversation. Talk and learn about mental fitness. Share our emails and share us on Insta, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
