You have control over your thoughts. It is impossible to shut off our brains. When we come to terms with our brains always being on, we can take control of our thoughts, and focus what will make us happier and more productive #foodforthought#takecontrol#positivity#sportpsych
“Think before you speak” is something we learn as children and seem to forget about as adults. So much time and energy can be saved if we just take a moment to pause before we react. Reach out if you feel like you are someone who always reacts before they reflect.

It may be uncomfortable to think about changing a routine and learning a new way to do things, but unlearning old habits is an important and necessary part of growth. Letting go of old unhelpful habits shows strength and adaptability #sportpsychology https://t.co/nq521uSohg
Range is a must read for any person. Especially in a time where people may be thinking of a new career or switching their goals. This book goes against the norm to say you most certainly can, and should teach an old dog new tricks! @DavidEpstein 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Especially in a time when everyone is being asked to "wear multiple hats" asking for help is more important than ever! Asking for help shows you are self-aware, adaptable and collaborative: all great strengths. https://t.co/VevbCPn8NJ
Self-awareness and accountability are the first step necessary toward making any change or progress in any setting. This is an awesome first conversation in any staff meeting. Bravo Coach Kara (@karalawson20)excited to see where this season takes you! #growth
Athletes 👏🏼are👏🏼humans👏🏼first. Being away from your friends and family anytime is hard, being away from them in a pandemic is harder. They need someone to talk to about it and they need to feel ok talking about it. Thank you @FCHWPO for speaking up! #mentalhealth
I plan on trying the “cool down” today! Being open to new ways to reduce your stress is the first step in feeling better #reducestress#positivity#breathe Five-Minute Coronavirus Stress Resets - The New York Times https://t.co/KYTVfdUw9P
Thank you to all of the olympians speaking about their mental health experiences in #TheWeightofGold Thank you for using your platform to continue to break the stigma about asking for help. Athlete's are humans first and it is ok to not be ok. #askforhelp
It is so important to understand the difference between frustration and negativity. Being mad or frustrated is a normal emotion that is reasonable for short periods of time, while being negative is an attack on yourself and your ability. https://t.co/Cyh5RidcLo
When I met @repjohnlewis he said he was merely standing up for freedom and trying to improve our country, as anyone would do.
That’s servant leadership: having the generosity to make extraordinary sacrifices and the humility to believe they’re entirely ordinary.

proud of the work the University of Richmond is doing and especially proud of @SpiderMBB and Nick Sherod for using their platform in this way - another great day to be a spider #OneRichmond#proudspider
