On the power of imagination, focusing on the process, and controlling your mood
Oct. 05 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
The best weapon you have to keep you excited about your sport, to keep you committed to improving and striving for achievement, is your imagination.
Having a vivid imagination not only helps get you through difficult practices and lonely sessions aimed at improving your skills, it also keeps you energized and on course.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“When leaders become focused on the fruit instead of the root and worry about the outcome instead of the process of developing team members, they may survive in the short run, but they will not thrive in the long run.”
– Jon Gordon
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“Not all low mood is unidentified dehydration, but when dealing with mood it is essential to remember that it’s not all in your head.
It’s also in your body state, your relationships, your past and present, your living conditions and lifestyle.
It’s in everything you do and don’t do, in your diet and your thoughts, your movements and memories.
How you feel is not simply a product of your brain.”
– Julie Smith
