“We train our brains. In the end, it is your mind that translates the outside world into happiness or misery.” ~Matthieu Ricard If there is one thing that I preach to athletes, it is, to TRAIN your brain. It’s just like a muscle. I believe that what happens between your ears has just as much, if not more power over your training and race results than the physical. Constantly work on CONTROLLING your thoughts and cultivating inner peace. This is a skill. Cultivate positivity so you can be resilient when it gets tough. My mantra in tough workouts and races, was often. “Control your mind. Control your mind.” I played this on repeat over and over.....and over. Now it’s yours to use 💜 #thisisaboutrunning #thisisnotaboutrunning
