Journal Prompt: What makes you smile?

It seems like a simple, if not a silly, question. But we spend so much time trying to understand what makes us under-perform so that we can fix it, we rarely focus on the things that can be leveraged to boost our moods back up.

If you find yourself having an off day due to a bad play, practice, or losing a big game—it’s important to know the key things that can lift your spirits. Whether it’s solitude, your pet, friends, nature, or a book.

Always have a plan to harness the power of a smile when needed.

Grab your own and journal and get writing. I hope you’re keeping track of these Journal Prompt Mondays to continue developing as an athlete and a person.
