Good Morning! With a bold statement " You can Coach yourself!" 😉
The Runner and the Balcony
Meet Leo. Leo loved to run. But lately, he felt stuck. His times were slow. His legs felt heavy. He felt mad at himself."Why can't I run faster?" he asked.
Leo was too close to his problem. He could only see his heavy feet. He needed to be his own coach.
He used a mental trick called the "Balcony Method".
Taking a Step Back
Leo closed his eyes. He pretended to leave his body. He flew up to a balcony. From there, he looked down at the running track.He saw himself running.
He looked at his form. He noticed he was leaning too far forward. He saw that he held his fists too tight."Aha!" Leo said from the balcony. "You are too tense. Your body is tired."Leo stepped back into his body.
He loosened his hands. He stood up straight. He began to run with joy again.
