New blog post - "How Do I Rid Myself of Performance Anxiety - Be Careful What You Wish For" wix.to/tsXBfT8 #sportpsychology #performanceanxiety #anxiety #mentaltoughness #mentalperformance
Optimal performance doesn’t just apply to athletes on a sports field; intellectual athletes need to perform at peak levels, too. Listen in as Dr. Brian Yu (@prevailperform) shares with Mark Yacano (@myaCano) the ACT therapy approach. bit.ly/3OrPn98 #legalpodcast
Accepting anxiety is like letting a person in your car. U might fear that anx is going to takeover the driver's seat. But it doesnt have to be this way. U can let anx in the car, sit it in the back seat, & come along for the ride. U still get to steer #sportpsychtips #anxietytips
“Live life from the feet up, not from the head down.” -Dr. Robyn Walser A video tip on #productivity & helping engage in your desired behaviors, even when your head & thoughts say otherwise. #sportpsychtips #sportpsych #mentalhealthtips #mentalskills instagram.com/reel/ClbtrG5j-…
Anxiety before a big competition is not necessarily an ominous sign of doom. It's normal to feel anxious when u care about something. So if u care about how u perform, it can be normal to feel anxious. Accept anxiety, bring it with u, & compete! #sportpsychtips #mentalhealthtips
A metaphor about allowing thoughts & emotions to #flow, featuring #greatfallspark #greatfallsva #sportpsychology #sportpsych #mentalhealthtips #mentalhealth #anxietytips #mentaltoughness #mentalskills #mindfulness #meditation instagram.com/reel/ClJ8iMeDk…
#Mistakes don't always mean something is wrong. Making mistakes can be a normal occurrence when learning something new and challenging yourself to reach new goals and elevated achievements. #sportpsychtips #mentalhealthtips #sportpsych #learningfrommistakes #mentalskills
Thoughts are tools. Use them as such. #sportpsych #sportpsychtips #mentalhealthtips #mindfulness #anxietytips #mentalskills instagram.com/reel/CkuaQBHjJ…
When getting through tough workouts, don't get too far ahead of yourself. If you have 50 squats, don't think about all 50 of them. Stay present. Focus on reps 1-5. After that, reps 6-10. Then 11-15. Break it up mentally into manageable chunks. #sportpsychtips #onestepatatime
U might resort to self-criticism when u make a mistake, thinking that's the only way to prevent that mistake again. Does this actually work? Believe it or not, being self-compassionate is another way to improve on mistakes. Criticism is not the only way. #sportpsychtips
After a loss/mistake, reflect on: WHAT? - Describe what happened? SO WHAT? - Identify why this is important to u? NOW WHAT? - What do u want to do with this experience? What did u learn? What are u going to change? Credit & Thx @abbyrkeenan for this! #sportpsychtips
Understanding another's perspective doesn't mean u have to abandon your own. To do this, say "and" instead of "but." Ex: "I see what you're saying, AND I see it differently" vs "I see what you're saying, BUT I see it differently." See the difference? #empathy #conversationtips
When #overthinking, focus gets drawn inwards, to thoughts. So to disrupt this, draw focus outwards, on the senses. Try 3-2-1... Identify 3 things you can see, 2 things you can tactile feel (like w/ fingers, hands, & feet), & 1 thing you can hear. #sportpsych #mentalhealthtips
The ability to feel emotions is a beautiful thing. But when we try to curate & self-select what emotions we want to feel or don't feel, we risk losing the capacity to feel anything at all. If u like feeling positive emotions, make space for the negative ones too #mentalhealthtips
"Having thoughts" & "thinking" are not the same thing. "Having thoughts" means to observe thoughts & choose to leave them alone & let them be. "Thinking" means to actively engage with thoughts. "Having thoughts" is ok for sleep, "thinking" is not. #mentalhealthtips #sleeptips
Are you in a relationship but need a little help on how to stay on track with continuing to cultivate your relationship on a daily basis? Check out @GottmanInst podcast, "Small Things Often," for bite-sized relationship tips/reminders #RelationshipAdvice gottman.com/podcast/
During those days when you hate #anxiety the most and wish that it would just leave you alone, remember, that at its core, anxiety is there to protect you and remind you about what is most important in your life. #sportpsych #MentalHealthTips #anxietyrelief #performanceanxiety
Here's a simple routine to do before practices or competitions to get focused: 1) Focus on your breath 1 minute, 2) Identify 1-3 specific goals for the day, & 3) Recite a mantra that symbolizes the mindset u want (ex: "Be here now"). #sportpsych #focus #mindset #MentalHealthTips
