MESSAGE #715 TRY THIS AT HOME…OR WORK
“If your teeth are clenched and your fists are clenched, your lifespan is probably clenched.”
-ADABELLA RADICI
Stress and pressure are killers, in sports and life.
When we are stressed, we increase chances of poor health and decrease chances of peak performance.
Do this simple exercise to let yourself relax, instead of making yourself relax.
Look for an object nearby, a coffee cup for example. I want you to reach for that coffee cup, but reach slowly, tightening every muscle in your arm and body. Clench your teeth, your neck muscles, your arm muscles, even your leg muscles. Slowly bring that object to your chest.
Now, put that object down and reach for it again, but this time, stay loose and smoothly reach for it and bring it to your chest.
Did you have a different experience?
Was it easier? Did it feel effortless?
I challenge you to do this exercise five times today. I think you will find that it will help you stay in the moment, play better and have less stress.
