A.J. Brown Shares a Lengthy Mental Health Video on Social Media
Published:
Lifting the A.J. Brown moratorium temporarily to share the message he shared on IG:
It’s a good message. It’s targeted at NFL players and Christians, but it’s really a secular message that’s applicable to everyone and everything. There are a lot of basic maxims that you can follow no matter who you are or what you believe, like:
- you gotta do what makes you happy
- the sun is going to come up tomorrow
- other people will move on
- you have to keep going
- you’re on you’re own timeline
- go talk to somebody
- get it off your chest
- you’re not too tough to talk to someone
- you gotta make sure your mind is right before your body is right
- reinforce your mind with positive thoughts
- it’s not going to rain forever
- stay in the fight, doesn’t matter where you’re at in life
- it’s you vs. you
- say affirmations around the crib
- talk to yourself
- when you make sure you’re good, then you can make sure everyone else is good (a spin on Nietzsche’s first principle of charity)
- appreciate the little things
- be where your feet are
It’s a solid message! Athletes are human beings. They take a lot of shit and are in the public spotlight and that’s tough.
Now, back to speculation about A.J. Brown’s Eagles future.
