Hello all my Pickleball Joy Riders!
Welcome to the Monday Minute, a 60-second list of what I’m exploring and thinking about. Feel free to forward along if the pickleball spirit moves you!
In my feed… Peter's laws of life:
Peter Diamandis founded the XPRIZE ($10mm prize for private space flight). He has a set of rules that guide his life. My faves:
-If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.
-When in doubt: think.
-When given a choice…take both.
-Multiple projects lead to multiple successes.
-When forced to compromise, ask for more.
-If you can’t win, change the rules.
-If you can’t change the rules, then ignore them.
In My Practice...How to stop time in pickleball
What if I told you that you could freeze time on the pickleball court but the way to do it was to master the volley dink? You’d think I’m crazy right? But it’s the truth. When you master the volley dink three things happen:
1.) You steal your opponents' time
2.) You gain time (the game starts to move slower)
3.) You can now create dangerous and tricky speed-ups.
You’ll no longer “telegraph” your speed-ups with big backswings, b/c you'll only need to add a little wrist flick to your volley dink to create power like the “two-inch punch”.
On my body: LEOREVER Compression Tights
Science matters. And the science of recovery & injury prevention is serious business if you play pickleball! That’s why I’m thrilled to partner with a brand I’ve been using and believing in for over a year now, @LEOREVER.
If you want to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, expedite recovery, and look great, then check out Leorever’s compression tights, shorts, and tops.
Use code JILLYB for a 10% discount. Made in the USA right in my native Orange County, CA, I’m pumped to partner with Leorever!
In my mind: The first 90 seconds
I’ve noticed how I spend the first 90 seconds of my day when my eyelids flutter open and my consciousness is highly suggestible dictates the next 23 hours 58 minutes and 30 seconds of my day. Do I check my phone, Instagram, or email? Getting me anxious, heart racing, focused on the external world?
Or do I spend a few moments to think about the insanity that our cells are dividing, that the sun is rising in fantastical magenta hues, that I have the wild honor to be alive and living (focusing on the internal world).
What if the key to a great day was 90 seconds of being present and grateful first thing in the morning? I’m finding it just might be. This is slightly different than Tony Robins' "priming", which I mentioned in the first Monday Minute. In my opinion, they complement each other--and no morning (or day) is complete without both.
