“When you begin to notice your thoughts, one of the first things you’ll see is that you’re never alone.”
– Byron Katie, I Need Your Love – Is That True?
Become aware of your thoughts. Though you don’t have any control of thoughts that pop up, you can redirect them. Make your thoughts be on your side. Have your thoughts become your personal coach, one who is always right there with you.
When you feel down, angry, disappointed, or scared, or when you make a mistake, notice your thoughts. Are you beating yourself up? Instead, ask yourself, “What would a coach say?” A personal coach will be encouraging and supportive. Your coach will be more objective and therefore more accurate about the situation. Let the coach speak to you. You may be able to listen better to a coach than to yourself.
