✨ Self-Talk Power ✨
When You’re in a Pickle…
Polly Pickle learned something important.
When fear showed up, her brain repeated the same automatic self-talk—again and again.
Those thoughts didn’t come from truth.
They came from her Watch Dog Brain, trying to protect her.
💭 You can’t do this.
💭 You might fail.
💭 What if they judge you?
Sound familiar?
What is your automatic self-talk when fear arises?
What emotions have you stuffed, held back, or pushed down?
Can you recognize when you’re in survival mode?
Can you see the ways you try to survive—protect, control, avoid, or please?
Today, gently allow those emotions to move through you.
No fixing. No judging. Just noticing.
Feel the vibrations in your body.
Breathe into them.
Let them rise, shift, and soften.
Just like Polly Pickle, awareness is the first step.
You are safe to feel.
You are allowed to release. 🌿

🌊 I can change. 🌊
When we combine movement, breath, and positive self-talk, something powerful happens.
Our bodies soften.
Our minds shift.
And suddenly, change feels possible.
This page from Breathe and Stretch on the Beach reminds us that we can’t control the weather, the past, or other people…
but we can change how we show up.
✨ A gentle stretch
✨ A few steady breaths
✨ One kind sentence to ourselves
That’s where real growth begins — for kids and grown-ups.
Save this as a reminder that small practices create big shifts 💙

Fernando Mendoza’s success as a quarterback goes far beyond physical skill — it’s rooted in intentional daily practices.
🧘‍♂️ He meditates and prays before games to create calm and focus.
📵 He stays off social media to protect his mindset.
