This is SO COOL! I can't believe I am just now seeing this post. I totally missed the live session. Do you have it recorded on YouTube or elsewhere? I'd love to listen to the replay. Hope I'm not to late ๐! I'm sure you were amazing, Brynn! So happy for how far you've come along on the online writing game!
This is the best advice of all time. It will be difficult to change my mindset and apply this - but it makes total sense. Simone Biles didnโt care about how the other gymnasts practiced or what they ate every day - she focused on what she needed to do specifically for her body - what steps she needed to practice and what she needed to eat for her body type in order to bring home the medal.
Thanks so much, Sahil. ๐ฅฐ
What is Anticipatory Anxiety?
According to Drs. Sally Winston & Martin Seif's book (photographed below),
"ANTICIPATORY ANXIETY is the expectation of distress and the push toward avoidance that occurs before you encounter the situations or experiences you fear in real life."
"People think lifeโs about avoiding getting knocked down."
"Itโs NOT."
"Itโs about learning how to get back up."

"When you are paralyzed by indecisiveness, you often overlook the costs of inaction."
