Tools like meditation, mindfulness and visualization are KEY if you want to be mentally prepared for a game.
If when you play your thoughts are bad or you are always in a negative cycle with negative comments about your game is time to change this. When you have a constant negative self-talk in your head, it affects TREMENDOUSLY your game. But don´t worry I´m here to help you change this today.
Being a conscious athlete takes time. Nowadays, is not just knowing how to play the game, you need to improve the mental and physical side of your game You can be gifted technically but are constantly talking shit about yourself or being in a bad physical shape. But don´t worry, LDC got your back !
If you want to start having a positive mindset during the game, you need to practice it. Start by meditating 5-10 mins per day or being mindful (this means when you are cleaning the dishes or taking a shower or in the gym you practice being present, focusing on your breathing and on whatever you are doing) and see how it goes. When we meditate, the idea is not to clear completely our minds, all our thoughts, that´s very difficult to do, even more if we are starting to practice it. What I want you to do is to allow any thought that comes into your mind, acknowledge it and let it go, don´t react to it. Close your eyes for 5-10 mins, go to a quiet spot, where there is no noise, you can put a relaxing music or just be in silence. Breath in and breath out, through your nose and just focus on your breath, feel how your belly expands and feel your body. See how in minutes your body and your mind are going to be more relaxed, more at ease. Imagine coming into the field with this tranquility, this mindset. I CAN ASSURE you are going to be a different player. The idea is that you practice meditation 5/10/20/30 mins per day. The more you practice, the more you will feel it when you play. I´m not saying this is EASY! But the mind is like a muscle, the more we train it the better we will feel. So, stop whatever you are doing now and just close your eyes for 5-10 mins. If you are at work, go to the restroom and sit in the toilet. NO EXCUSES! You can also start with guided meditations; you have plenty in youtube. If not, I use an app called OPEN but you need to pay a membership ($20 monthly)
If you also feel like you can improve your physical game, you know I got you!
