Hello Sports Fans!
Today’s QUICK TIP … Just because you THINK IT or BELIEVE IT … doesn’t mean it’s actually TRUE! So there are probably 100 different variables that fall into play on this topic but I’ll narrow the field to THREE main points. 1) The first and foremost job of your brain is to PROTECT YOU … even at your own peril, in the long run, like taking drugs or drinking to numb the current pain 2) The main goal of your EGO is simply to be RIGHT about what it BELIEVES … even to your own detriment … this is why we selected certain things to pay attention to while ignoring others 3) This leads me to the second part COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS … which are simply thinking errors and we have LOTS of them! Like mindreading (you know what they must be thinking) and the all or nothing (like if you make one mistake you are a TOTAL screwup) and emotional reasoning (what you ‘feel’ MUST be true). KEY POINT … ALL OF THESE mean that your thoughts … aka your brain … can and normally does, lie to you ALL THE TIME! Here is a great read about some of the most common cognitive distortions and how they come about and what to do about them … enjoy "Here" Illegitimi non Carborundum!
