194 - STOP Spiraling!!

Your thoughts aren’t always telling you the truth—and when you believe every negative one, it’s easy to spiral. Which can be a real distraction in team sports like roller derby.In this episode, we break down what’s really happening when your mind jumps to worst-case scenarios, from “What if I fail?” to “What if I don’t belong?” to "I can't do this!" These thoughts feel real, but they’re often just hypotheses—not facts. And when we don’t challenge them, they can snowball into full-blown mental tornadoes that are hard to escape.You can’t eliminate negative thoughts—but you can change your relationship with them and strengthen your resilience to their effects!Photo by Darren Stehr Podcast logo by Liz Mac Intyre @lizzylusciousTo find about more about the Fast Five Skate Race at K1 Speed in Traverse City, Michigan, go to this link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tcrollerderby.com/events-2-1/fast-five-skate-at-k1-speed⁠⁠⁠⁠Or follow Traverse City Roller Derby on socials: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tcrollerderby⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/tcrollerderby⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow our Facebook page at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/powerthru4thwhistle⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Power4thWhistle ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
