Mind Games

1. Catastrophizing
Skier vs. cornice—
cue ski patrol, limbs airborne.
Chill. You’re just sideways.

2. Imposter Syndrome
The bros send it switch.
You Googled “DIN” on the lift.
Fuck it. Just drop in.

3. All-or-Nothing Thinking
Springmeier faceplant.
Straight-up ski apocalypse!
Get up. Then laugh. Go.

4. Perfectionism
Laying down trenches,
Or pizza’ing all day long—
Gravity still wins.

5. Projection
Dragged up the T-bar.
Cheers erupt from maze below.
Congrats: you’re famous.

6. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
Eyes locked on those rocks.
Told myself I would eat it.
Manifestation!
