Keep it Real
The expression ”keep it real” has more meanings than one. In this strategy, it means to remain unaffected. The tendency to over-react is widespread, especially in high-achieving athletes, as they place so much importance on both sports and academics. Rather than looking at a mishap from a non-emotional objective standpoint, they allow their emotions to get the better of them and rush to a worst-case scenario. Examples include how a poor performance in the pool equals the end of the world or a B in a science quiz means failing the year.
This week’s mission is to “keep it real” and view every obstacle and setback you encounter objectively with no emotional attachment or exaggeration.
