@Josephineperry I agree, supporting others while supporting ourselves

[Louise Byrne she/sí @LBPerformPsych]

@Josephineperry I'm so sorry she was exposed to that at such a young age. I feel such dread it may continue as she gets older, regardless of how much we try and shrink ourselves to not stand out. Although you being so vocal and removing the shame and burden will help. It has for me when I see it

@Sahen_Gupta @UoPSportScience Congratulations Sahen good luck with it!

"Motivated by the fear of failure rather than the will to succeed" - @Helenglovergb. Such a relatable statement for me personally and what an inspirational documentary on BBC 'The Mother of all Comebacks'.
Watching this has reignited the defiance in me to push forward.

Note based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: we are not what we tell ourselves in one moment of time.

Instead it would be helpful to see ourselves throughout different contexts and situations

Writing out your philosophy of practice and remembering why you started working with athletes in sport is 'totes emosh' (as the young kids say). Is it obvious my coping mechanism for life is humour...

[Louise Byrne she/sí @LBPerformPsych]

@Empower2Perform Yeah until my landlord accepts "exposure" as rental payment I've said no to all. I also don't remember being able to pay my tens of thousands of euros and pounds in uni fees through "exposure"

[Louise Byrne she/sí @LBPerformPsych]

@KarlLambe I'm sorry to hear this Karl and hope you continue to treasure the memories and advice

[Louise Byrne she/sí @LBPerformPsych]

There's something to be said for keeping the head down and progressing without constantly trying to prove you're doing just that... I don't know maybe that's naïveté

[Louise Byrne she/sí @LBPerformPsych]

Having spent all morning responding to emails with "Good afternoon" I think that's a sign to check out..... lol jk can't do that as I've bills to pay, anywhooooo

[Louise Byrne she/sí @LBPerformPsych]

@Empower2Perform @serenamacleod91 @ShakibaMoghadam @EPSportsPsych I always appreciate the support from you and definitely something I aspire to embody

[Louise Byrne she/sí @LBPerformPsych]

Suddenly dawned on me this morning, being courageous is a muscle we have to flex, continuously. Not something other people we look up to are born with. So uncomfortable, yet so necessary.

Here's to standing up and speaking out.
