Empowered Mindset
winning at life with an empowered mindset Salli Galvin
I
truly believe that every game (including the game of life) is won or lost in the mind. When I proudly wore the green and gold representing Australia, I was coached at the Australian Institute of Sport where I learnt that the power of the mind is paramount to success in sport.
I have grown to understand this is also true in life.. I have personally been obsessed with mastering and understanding the mind and, since becoming a mother, I believe that it is imperative for our children to have the tools and foundations to help them understand the way their own mind works and how they can create awareness around their emotions, build self confidence and learn to love and be who they truly are. As a mother of four boys (aged 6-14), I am well aware of the rising levels of depression, anxiety and god forbid, suicide in our younger generations right now. While we have some idea, no-one really knows exactly what long term effect the current COVID-19 pandemic and social isolation will have on all of our children.
That is why personal development is paramount – in adults but particularly in children. It helps to develop the solid foundation they need to build confidence and self-belief and also nurture a valuable understanding of who they are and what they can do in the world before they hit those misty, crazy years of adolescence.
There are two very valuable notions any child or teenager should know: that they are loved unconditionally by you, and they are safe.
