Simone Arianne Biles is an artistic gymnast from the United States. Simone Biles’ decision to withdraw from the Olympics is attracting the same kind of attention that drained her energy and focus in the first place. She was brave enough to be open about the dangers to her mental and physical health.
Simone Biles has some tips for you on how to be brave when facing difficult decisions.
1. Pay attention to the signs of abuse and seek treatment as soon as possible
Her decision to withdraw from the Olympics has been simmering for years as reminders of her traumas fester and the physical dangers of her current performance level deteriorate.
Simone Biles teaches us to keep our eyes out for potential exploiters and stay away from them. She inspires us to clearly and directly express what we want and need.
2. First and foremost, pay attention to yourself

Simone rightly stated “At the end of the day, we’re human too. We have to protect our mind and our body rather than just go out there and do what the world wants us to do.”
She teaches us to believe in ourselves and to commit to organizing and focusing on our choices and priorities.
3. Address the challenges of meeting ever-increasing performance standards

Biles teaches us that it is a gift to yourself to know when and how to draw a line.
