Comment on How I Have Been Reducing Stress in All Parts of my Life by Childhood Anxiety: The Student Athlete

Childhood Anxiety: The Student Athlete — Wed, 09 Oct 2019 00:53:59 +0000

[…] All successful athletes know the mental game is just as important as the physical game. The players must have confidence, desire, initiative, courage and respect to be an asset to the team. Sometimes players are too focused on comparing themselves to others, with game time performance, grades, class rigor, and all the social implications that go along with the dangerous game of comparison. They impose unrealistic pressures on themselves which can be exacerbated by expectations from coaches, parents and peers. Many kids are confused by the often unfair politics that take place in youth sports. They place a lot of their value and self-worth on how much playing time they get, how they are treated by their team mates and how valuable they feel to the team. When your child is struggling with their mental game, help them regain confidence by helping them focus on the things they are good at. Providing them ways to regroup and find mental calm and balance. Slow deep breathes are the easiest and most effective way to quickly slow your heart rate, and reduce stress. […]

Comment on CrossFit Tips for Beginners by Gym Bag Must Haves When You Need Bladder Leak Protection

Gym Bag Must Haves When You Need Bladder Leak Protection — Thu, 03 Oct 2019 20:00:59 +0000

[…] When I started Cross Fit years ago, I wore loose clothing on my bottom part. Mostly because the bigger the shorts the less I had to look at the extra weight I was carrying around. However, when you leak a little during jump rope, squats, dead lifts, running and other exercises, having tighter clothing really helps keep pads and undies in place. This does not mean that you have to wear them alone. I would put them under looser shorts so that I got the clothing that help protection in place, and then the loose shorts over to keep my insecurities at bay. Any stretchy, spandex short worked well. I could move, jump and run without worrying about my bladder leak protection moving. Because what is the point of the product if it does not stay where it needs to be to protect?

Comment on My Teen is Not on Social Media and I Won’t Apologize for It by Childhood Anxiety: The Age of Instant Anxiety

Childhood Anxiety: The Age of Instant Anxiety — Mon, 23 Sep 2019 17:53:26 +0000

[…] Social media takes it a step further by providing instant access. It takes the stress of growing up to another level and amplifies childhood anxiety. Social media presents the ability and need to constantly compare and compete. The social profiles show someone’s “best life” not necessarily their “real life.” It is a social construct that is dangerous, and creates feelings of inadequacy, diminished self-confidence and lack of self-fulfillment. It instills the ideology that we should all reach these elevated and often false levels of success. It creates a self-fulfilling prophecy of MORE, FASTER, BETTER! […]
