Mind over Matter

So second swim meet was A LOT better!! My times were all cut, even though I was congested and my head felt like a baloon! I was only one second off the hundred backstroke record! The fifty free style was a better time, actually my best time, but I know I can do better. I think I performed better this meet because my mother gave me some very helpful information about relaxing. If any of you get super nervous before anything, hit me up! I have an excellent relaxation technique that I think really helps. But for anyone at anytime of the day, if you ever get a negative thought, like "I like fat today" or "My hair looks awful!" or "I wanna punch that guy in the face", immediately say "Cancel Thought." Your mind will actually just cancel the thought! You then have to replace it with a positive thought. It really does work, I tried this at my meet. It is a fantastic way to stay positive!

What do you want for Christmas?! Well, I want a Kindle! It is like an ipod for books, and after doing my research, I really do think I would enjoy it. I think I want the white one instead of the dark gray one. I really hope Santa gets it for me! Wink wink mom. :)
