Simone Biles - Pausing with Power

I’m excited to kick off my blog, Lighting the Way: Why Dim the Stars That Guide Us, by featuring my first celebrity: my namesake, Simone Biles. Her story transcends athletic achievement, offering profound lessons about the vital connection between mental health and physical performance.

As a self-esteem expert who has worked with athletes, I am deeply inspired by Simone’s courage and self-awareness, which she exemplified on the world stage during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Simone Biles made headlines for stepping back from competition—a decision that surprised many. But what the world witnessed was a powerful reminder that pushing through isn’t always the answer. For high-performance athletes, the connection between the mental and physical state is undeniable.

Simone knew that sometimes simply "pushing through" is not only unwise but also ineffective. Our mindset directly affects our ability to perform, and ignoring this truth can lead to breakdowns that are far more costly than stepping back.

What makes Simone’s journey even more remarkable is how her choice to prioritize her mental wellness in 2020 paved the way for a truly inspiring comeback. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Simone returned stronger than ever, winning three gold medals (team all-around, individual all-around, and vault) and one silver (floor exercise). Her story proves that taking time to prioritize well-being isn’t just courageous—it’s the foundation for sustained greatness.

Hidden Lessons from Celebrity Drama: How Simone Biles is Lighting the Way for Us...

Tuning Into Your Heart's Wisdom: Just as Simone Biles demonstrated, aligning with your heart’s wisdom is essential. Like HeartMath Institute and Dr. Joe Dispenza indicate, this alignment comes from heart-centeredness, gratitude, and paced breathing. You may not hear a literal voice, but if you slow down—like Simone did—you’ll notice those subtle signals from the Divine that guide you in the direction of your greatest good. This is one of the most powerful manifestation techniques you can use.
Listening to the Inner Voice of Love, Not Fear: There’s a clear distinction between the voice of stress and fear and the voice of a relaxed, aligned heart. Simone Biles reminded us that the best decisions come from a place of love—for yourself and your well-being. This voice is aligned with Infinite Wisdom and guides you toward love for all, including your beautiful self. It’s the kind of self-esteem that isn’t dictated by performance or external accolades but by an inner knowing of your worth.
Slowing Down and Tuning In to Manifest More: By stepping back, Simone Biles showed us that sometimes the fastest way forward is to pause. When you slow down, listen to your heart, and practice self-compassion techniques, you position yourself for even greater success in the long run. Life is a journey, and your longevity depends on finding balance. This is how you ensure that your mental wellness and physical health remain in harmony.

The Star Treatment: In metaphysics, a "treatment" is a set of healing words spoken to activate Divine Power. These "Healing Words" are for you, Simone.

Prayer Treatment:

Simone, may your choice to honor yourself by stepping back during the Olympics continue to bless you as a profound act of self-love and Divine wisdom—may that inspire us all in the deepest way. You’ve shown the world that true greatness comes not just from pushing through but from knowing when to pause and listen to your heart—may you stand confidently in that always!

Coaching Treatment:

Simone, continue deepening this connection to your inner guidance. Sometimes we find it easy to follow our heart (sometimes, it's hard but necessary)—and other times, in other areas of our lives, we miss the messages from our heart altogether. Be sure to take the strength you showed in 2020 and generalize it into all areas of your life. Remind yourself that you have the Divine Power (deep inside) to know exactly when to keep pushing and when it's time to step back. This is a gift you can use always. Affirm yourself as the shining star we call Simone Biles, inspiring us all with your courage and grace.

IMPORTANT NOTE

I’m not here to judge and condemn, nor praise and celebrate every decision someone makes (celebrity or not). I’m simply here to offer a perspective of compassion for our fellow man. This seems long overdue particularly for those who serve us on screen, on stage, in the arena or in any spotlight. The blog is made up of a combination of facts, opinions, speculation, assumptions, tools, resources, data and more. I do not claim to have contact with the celebrities discussed nor do I claim to have researched their stories in full.
