Be a Verb, Not a Noun: Lessons in Growth from Athlete and Writer Alexi Pappas
Be a Verb, Not a Noun: Lessons in Growth from Athlete and Writer Alexi Pappas
The Olympian and writer shares affirmations and insights on confidence, curiosity, and letting sport—and life—evolve with you
Plants don’t just grow every leaf and every flower all at once. They grow a stem, then a branch, then another. It’s a process.
Do what feels true to you. If you don’t know how, start with your clothes. Try opening your closet. Close your eyes. Tell yourself: there’s no threat, there’s no goal, and then open your eyes and decide what to wear. Wear what you feel magnetized toward.
Challenge your default setting, whatever that is. This could be with regard to data, devices, or the way you typically talk to yourself. Try something different and see how it makes you feel.
Be a verb, not a noun. Allow yourself to evolve and change infinitely.
