Swimming Psyche Outs. How to be in control, confident and composed when faced with psyche outs (and how to use them to your advantage!!). Part Two.

Ten things you can do to respond to a psyche out-er:

  • Smile;
  • Say “thanks”;
  • Shake their hand and say “I really appreciate your support”;
  • Laugh and say “is that the best you can come up with?”;
  • Tell them, “I am sorry. I really wasn’t listening to you”;
  • Tell them an even bigger “exaggeration”;
  • Walk away;

  • Keep chatting with family and friends.

But the best thing of all is to……………ignore them and swim your best.
