Awaken Your Inner Athlete
Document Actions
If you’re willing to declare, “I am an athlete,” even for a little while…your relationship with your body will change. Perhaps your posture will be the first transformation. Then your expectations. When you think of yourself as an athlete, it might begin to seem perfectly normal—imperative, even—to devote time each day to physical fitness. You’ll begin to feel competent to join a yoga class or bowling league or neighborhood Ping-Pong game—even if you don’t win, even if you weigh more than you should, even if you’re too embarrassed to say, “I am an athlete” out loud.
