Today’s Monday Mindset: Unruffleability
Unruffleability.
You won’t find it in the dictionary but it’s a word you need to know and apply every single day. And if you fail to, you’ll struggle with difficult people and difficult challenges and circumstances all your life.
During my basketball career, after I had attended the Point Guard College course with PGC founder Dick DeVenzio, I tried my best to apply the unruffleability concept. He taught us to not let life’s circumstances on or off the court get you ruffled, unnerved, stressed, frustrated, worried, or angry.
You live between your own ears.
You control how you’re going to feel any given moment by what you’re thinking, what you’re thinking impacts how you’re feeling.
So, choose today to grow your unruffleability muscle.
The best way you do it is just by reminding yourself every time something difficult comes up or a difficult person comes into your presence and something challenging happens – just take a deep breath and remind yourself to be bigger.
Be bigger on the inside, to live between your own ears.
I do my best to practice it, so I can strengthen this muscle. No matter what comes my way, no matter what came my way during my athletic career, during my coaching career, or now and the rest of my life – I can handle everything in stride. I can handle everything with composure and poise, simply being calm under pressure.
If you want to be somebody who’s calm and cool under pressure in any circumstance, grow your unruffleability muscle.
That’s your Monday Mindset.
