Summary

Before you head into a race, or any event that means something to you - a job interview, a first date, a meeting with the boss - it’s important to mentally prepare. When you are more mentally prepared, you can set up an outcome in your mind that works for you, walk into the event with greater confidence, and use mindfulness tools to keep yourself calm. There are a few questions that you can ask yourself to set yourself up in such a way and thought they may take a few minutes to answer, the outcome will make it well worth it.

LESSONS:
Getting yourself mentally prepared for an event that matters to you can help you experience the event in a more positive way and may even impact the outcome.
Ask yourself the following three questions:
What does success look like here?
What do I need to ensure confidence going in?
What do I need to do to remain calm?
