Get Out of Your Own Way

RETIRED University of Michigan, Director of Athletic Counseling Greg Harden asks us to learn how to get out of our own way. Stop for a moment and think about your own life. What’s holding you back? How often are you…

… your own worst enemy?
… overthinking?
… worrying about how other people see you?
… beating yourself up?
… worrying about things you can’t change?
… dragging around yesterday’s baggage and feeling sorry for yourself?

Be honest with yourself about what’s holding you back. “This will only increase your commitment to the ultimate mission: Learn how to control the controllables. Practice, train, and rehearse controlling your own thoughts and actions.” You are the only person who has control over your own mind. Commit to staying out of your own way every day.
