Befriending Fear & Stress
KEY TAKE AWAY
You can see incredible benefits by simply changing your opinion of fear or anxiety
ACTION PLAN
Take a moment to think about different circumstances in which you might feel some sort of anxiety, stress, or fear, such as pregame, or in high pressure situations, etc.
Jot down all the feelings you usually experience in those situations (ie, sweaty palms, shortness of breath, etc). Now I want you to explain how you will frame each symptom in a positive light and how you will use them as your “fuel.” For instance, if I experience a pit in my stomach… I think to myself “Wow, this is my body slowing down my stomach and sending blood elsewhere to focus on achieving a more important task than digestion.”
