Emotions are part of the art of sport, the art of performance. They are brought up all the time in conversations about sport. They are part of the athletes. They are part of you. They can help you transcend yourself\u2026 if you listen deeply and pay attention to them.
And they can also limit your performance or block you completely. Science has studied them and we know a lot more about emotions these days. All of this has been great in understanding how humans and athletes respond to different types of situations and how emotions are triggered. However, this has created a lot of confusion and left us with a deficit of more evolved forms that allow us to understand them in more depth. From interpretation to connection. From analysis to action. In short, we understand how they work, but we don't know how to work with them. We still haven't really learned to listen to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you begin to practice listening more deeply to your emotions, you become clearer and your mind is immediately more at ease. As my Zen teacher Doshin Michael Nelson says \u201cyou finally answer the phone!\u201d. And he laughs wisely. Confusion is lost. Clarity manifests. And now you know them as your own \u2013 in fact, who else could they be? When you are angry with your coach or your parents, are they the ones experiencing the same anger you are feeling? Or is it you? And what about fear? What does fear say about you? Shame? Anxiety? Have you ever asked yourself these questions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not delving deeper into emotions will prevent you from becoming \u201cmore intimate\u201d with them. Closer. Instead, they will distance themselves from you. Emotions are always trying to communicate something that brings deep wisdom. But we've learned to stay away from them. And we keep making sure to keep that distance. This is our comfort zone. So if something is a part of you, don't you want to get to know it better? Or you prefer to have parts of you that are \u201cout there\u201d, without having control over them or being able to learn from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, there is a lot of talk about being positive and having only positive emotions \u201cHey, be positive!\u201d, \u201cThink of good things\u201d, etc. I consider this approach very dangerous. And I also see a place and time for this approach. But when you can't discern the right moments to lean on something that's painful because the only reference you have is the positive-feel-good approach, you're lost in a sea of \u200b\u200bpositive emotions. You have stopped (or are on your way to not) to understand what is emotionally happening to you on deeper levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mesmo que o termo emo\u00e7\u00f5es positivas e possa ser \u00fatil, eu possa usar emo\u00e7\u00f5es destrutivas para ambas. Muita raiva, medo, inveja, ansiedade, etc., v\u00e3o atrapalhar. E o mesmo com as emo\u00e7\u00f5es positivas. Sim, muitas emo\u00e7\u00f5es positivas v\u00e3o intoxic\u00e1-lo e fazer acredit\u00e1-lo que a vida se retomar\u00e1 a se sentir bem. E n\u00e3o \u00e9. H\u00e1 momentos para se sentir bem e incr\u00edveis, momentos de n\u00e3o se sentir t\u00e3o bem e momentos de se sentir destru\u00eddo. Quando as coisas est\u00e3o se sentindo bem, se a sua preocupa\u00e7\u00e3o principal \u00e9 afastada desses sentimentos para que possa sentir-se bem novamente, vai estar se sentindo sua capacidade de resolver o problema real que est\u00e1 a enfrentar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emotions become destructive are dealt with in more if not evolved ways. When they are dealt with properly, they become constructive. So, if little or no time knows your emotions more deeply, especially what disturbs you the most in your sport, and deep down you know it's affecting the way you present yourself for training and competition, then there's a big gap in the way you feel. is preparing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
