The Tampa Bay Buccaneers capped off the most extraordinary sports season in recent memory with a championship win in Super Bowl LV. Although winning a championship is a huge undertaking for a team, the road to the big win is simply a culmination of a series of small wins executed over time. This edition’s Mental Health Fast Break is designed to help you build confidence by focusing on winning one day at a time.
Avoid social media and work emails before breakfast and within 30-45 minutes of bedtime.
Identify at least one small household chore every day that you can start and finish before the day’s end. The task can be as small as making your bed or washing your dishes. Fostering a sense of accomplishment doesn’t have to be reserved for a major event. Psychologically, it can be very satisfying to start a task, track your progress, and observe a finished product.
Create an “It’s Done List,” which allows you to focus on what you’ve done instead of focusing on what you have left to do.
Establish a bedtime routine. Some of the best coaches often note that it’s not how you start, but how you finish. Give your mind and body time to decompress from the day and rest.
Celebrate the little wins and reward yourself!
