Hi Champions!
Welcome back on « Today is a good day to » that is becoming for this year a special« this month is a good month to » where every month i am taking you for an exclusive journey behind the scenes of my preparation towards Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The purpose of this podcast format is sharing with you mindset tips & personal thoughts that i personally use when I’m facing difficult situations, with the desire to helping you grow your mind, develop your mental strength and become the best version of yourself!

Friendly reminder : the several tips I’m sharing are NOT magic tricks to make you happy forever, neither tricks to learn so that you will never be sad nor struggle a day in your life anymore. That’s impossible. The sole purpose of sharing these performance tips with you it is to give you some mindset tools you can practice, (thus, yes, mindset is a practice) in order to navigate your daily life a bit better.That’s it!

And of course; every piece of advice I’m going to share are not the only way to work on one situation, they are one way. This isn’t a 3h mindset masterclass on one specific mindset theme, this is a humble podcast episode. If you’re enjoying this podcast and you’d like to let me know or if you have any question about something I shared, or feedback you want to share, you can send me a personal message on my Instagram page @happy_lucie_,

I deeply hope you’ll find anything I’m sharing helpful.

With tender, love, and care,

Lucie

Welcome back on this podcast where every month I'm taking on a very special journey behind the scenes of my preparation towards Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Every month I'll talk about 3 topics related with personal situations that happened to me during the month prior, as well as thoughts and tips I used to help me get through it.

What are the 3 topics we talk about in this first episode ?

1: How to mentally deal with injuries ? And more than that : how to deal with unforeseen situations that are (very) bothering? 

A : I consider things don’t happen to me, they happen *for* me.
B :  I asked myself « what are good things this unforeseen situation allows me to get ? »
😄 ask yourself « how is this situation allowing me to grow ? What are new things I can learn and practice thanks to that situation ? » 

2: How to feel confident when you have to be good / to perform at important situations?

A: Remember past difficult situations similar as the one you’re going through that you succeeded at overcoming.
B: Find a way to get into your own zone.
😄 Don’t just get ready, stay ready.

3 : How to feel calmer and decrease your stress level during anxious situations?

A: Focus on one or two simple tasks.

If you want to let me know how practicing these tips went for you or just say hi, you can dm me on instagram with the biggest pleasure @happy_lucie_ 

Until next month my friend, 

Work hard, dream big, and never give up!
