Dealing with Marvin the Bumblebee…

Meet Marvin. He’s a Bumblebee. You see, Marvin represents anxiety, negative thoughts, self-judgements, and put-downs. He has a tendency to crop up right before entering a ring, or on my way to a trial, and he impacts my performance on everything from course plans, to walk thrus, to actual runs. As a result, I’ve worked very hard over the past year to come up with some coping strategies for Marvin, and thought I’d take the time to share them here.
