That’s very sporting of you

Inspiring you to change your game play

Still wrestling with life?
Still throwing punches like it’s a never-ending sparring match?
Or maybe… you’re playing a different game altogether.

Because every sport comes with its own mindset –
A stance. A strategy. A story about how life should be played.

So… what game are you playing today?
Here are 8 to choose from.
Read through – then pick.

Or be a little cheeky:
Let your eyes land on a number.
That might just be the game you’re playing with life right now.

Stick with it, rest in it, or…
Switch to the one that would serve you better.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

1. Wrestling Mode

It’s intense. Gritty. A full-body grapple.
You’re locked in – trying to pin life down and make it behave.
But maybe… life isn’t your opponent.
Maybe it’s just trying to dance – and you’re holding on too tight.

2. Boxing Mode

You’re fierce. Focused. Dancing on your toes.
You’ve got your gloves up and your eyes on the prize.
But hey – not every situation needs a punch.
Sometimes… it’s OK to take off the gloves, shake hands, call it a draw and go for lunch.

3. Soccer Mode

You’re reading the field, passing with purpose, sprinting toward goals.
But you don’t need to score in every play – or win every match. Let others have their day. Teamwork rocks.
Sometimes the smartest move is a good sideline chat and a drink of water.

4. Swimming Mode

Smooth. Strong. Rhythmic.
You move through emotion like water – one breath at a time.
Floating counts too. It restores energy.
Best move? Another lap, another day.

5. Martial Arts Mode

Poised. Precise. Present.
You know when to move – and when not to.
You conserve your energy. You channel it.
Sometimes your strongest move is stillness.

6. Yoga Mode

You stretch. You hold. You breathe.
You bend – without breaking.
But if your inner peace is hanging by one tight hamstring and a gritted jaw…
Savasana exists for a reason.

7. Tennis Mode

You bounce back like a pro.
Strategic. Sharp. Always ready with the return.
But not every serve needs chasing.
Let a few go. The right ones come back.

8. Dodgeball Mode

You’re nimble. Alert. Side-stepping chaos like a pro.
But if life keeps hurling things your way, maybe it’s not about dodging anymore.
Maybe it’s time to step off the court and wonder: Why am I still here?

So, what sport is your mind playing today?

Is it helping?
Or just wearing you out?

What if – just for today you…
Call time out.
Decide – my part’s done.
Allow – the Universe to play its move.

Game paused. Whistle blown.
