My mental health journey is what brought me here. I don’t share this part of my life because it’s easy; I share it because it’s necessary. If my super sensitive and empathetic self can be brave, so can you. ⚡️ To quote a post from Tiny Buddha “I will keep talking about the hard things to make it easier for someone else.” 💛✌🏻

Do it scared. The only way to know for sure what the outcome will be is to not try in the first place.⚡️ Make your move.

Let’s call out comparison versus competition for what it really is.

Yesss!!! The IOC is recommending routine mental health screenings for elite athletes.

“A consensus statement from the IOC states screening and monitoring mental health should be done at predefined points and after significant events, and also address training and competition factors.”

“While recognition of overt mental health disorders in elite athletes remains essential, situating athlete wellbeing within a dynamic continuum offers an additional framework for understanding the spectrum of psychological functioning in this population,” said the IOC in a statement published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

“For example, elite athletes may experience transient stress reactions related to competitions, to various temporary setbacks that are a normal and common part of elite athlete life, or to intense training periods.”

“Thus, there are important mental health considerations even if an athlete does not have a diagnosable disorder.”

This is exactly the kind of proactive system we need with all of mental health.
