6/7/2025-Mindfulness/Self Care

Monday through Friday, you compete…hard. AND YOU LOVE IT. (Good!)

One of the reasons you’re in sales is the fulfillment you get from being in the game.

So, how do you keep your competitive edge M-F and then relax and become mindful on the weekends?

Simple: you just do. You create boundaries and stick to them. M-F you go hard, and S/S you chill and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.

Take Steph Curry, for example. Whether you actively follow the NBA or not, you know he’s a hyper-competitive baller. And yet, when you watch him play, you see he’s having fun too.

It’s hard to turn off the flow of your competitive juices on the weekend. You run hot in the red-zone Monday through Friday which means it’s sometimes hard to get your body and mind to chill on days of the week that start with an "S."

It takes practice, but it’s fun to practice!

Step 1: lose your phone.

Step 2: don’t look for your phone.

Step 3: lay on your back and stare at the puffy clouds in the sky for at least 20 minutes today.

Step 4: Replace any of the above with other nothings.

If your competitive juices are still pulsing from a long week, perhaps this custom meditation for athletes will speak your language and bring you down a bit.

As a sales athlete, you understand your body and mind can’t run at max speed forever.
