At 25, gymnastics GOAT Simone Biles has accomplished the fame and glory of a lifetime. However, perhaps her day-to-day struggles remain similar to that of a normal human being. So what does she do to get through the days she isn’t feeling herself? Does she cry it out? Or does she face her bad days head-on as she faces her opponents in gymnastics?

From winning her first-ever gymnastics world championship in 2013 to winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom last week; Simone Biles has led an incredibly fascinating career. She has won 25 world championships and 7 Olympic medals, awarding her the title of the most decorated gymnast ever. However, since she hasn’t announced her official retirement yet, that number might go up as well.

What does Simone Biles do to get through a tough day?`

For athletes, their sport is the biggest indulgence they have. Therefore, when they are away from it, often it’s hard to belong anywhere. Hence, as soon as their competition ends, a majority of athletes go through a feeling of depression and anxiety. According to Biles, it “kind of throws your whole balance off. Because you go to work out and you release endorphins. You get any anger out. It’s kind of our oasis. Without that, you’re stuck at home with your own thoughts.”

However, to get through her worst days, “Sometimes I’ll write down little notes about how I’m feeling. Like, Today, it’s shit. Or Okay, I feel good, I feel content with this, this is the right decision, we need to make a plan,” said Biles.

She further added, “So it’s been nice to be able to live with them because I avoid them a lot of the time. That’s my way of protecting my mind.”

Has it worked for Simone?

Well, being a gymnastics legend, she is always on the radar of the media. Furthermore, with a lot of love and admiration comes a touch of hatred and criticism as well. However, Biles realized that external factors couldn’t make her feel bad as long as she truly knows who she is. For that, journaling, her thoughts and feelings have been one of the best hacks of her life.

At times, people forget that under the skin of a champion gymnast, Biles is just a 25-year-old girl who is trying to figure out her life like the rest. Departing from her parents at a young age, to her mental health crisis, she has gone through a lot.
