Getting Rid of the Tenants in Your HeadT
Who is living rent free in your head? Do they need to be there?
We've all been there. That incident, or coach, or parent, or player that has acted inappropriately. Sometimes the hardest thing is to let go of a person who has been part of an injustice, unfair practices, or unnecessary words and actions - especially when it is towards your child. Do what you can to address it, and then let it go.
Some strategies include:
To recognize what is in your control and what you are powerless over.
You can write it down to get it out and tear it up to get closure.
See a counselor or good friend that can help you find some release.
Do some advocacy, or write a letter.
Practice some redirection that is positive and proactive.
Practice acceptance.
