From the book : Go slow to grow fast! - Brent Tilson
Say you took all the people around the table and morph them into NBA players!
it would be foolish to hit the court without warming up first. Muscles might tear. Ligaments snap up
we re to go through the slow ritual of stretchign and warm-up!
A similar thing needed for mental relaxation as well -
I need to do this everyday - to overcome resistance - anxiety- cool down a little
through rituals of walking - meditation- jogging - that act as speed-breakers for the thoughts!
An exam student faced with anxiety approach Brett Tilson
Student : I am anxious, nothing going into my mind!
Brent : Have you ever watered a plan or vegetable garden?
Student : of course!
Brent : When you see water start to pool on top of soil, do you keep pouring?
Student : No. I let it drain in!
Brent : Would it not be quicker to keep pouring?
Student : No! Water would just run away over the sides. stop when enough!
Brent : well there you are! Go play tennis now!
