📸Look at the picture above for a few seconds. Just stay with it for a moment and try to embrace the view, and the way you feel about it. Does it make you feel relaxed, happy, amazed? Citing Rick Hanson, the author of the book "Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm and Confidence” we recommend this exercise in everyday practice. 📚

When you : see something beautiful, eat tasty meal, do something you like, experience positive emotions, just "stop the timer" and stay in the moment for few seconds more. 🧘🏻‍♀️

🧠Why is it so important?
Years of experiences programmed our brain the way it works now. We tend to notice and remember negative events better than positive ones. We also take them under consideration making decisions about our future. It was the matter of survival in the past but now it's counterproductive and harming. Focusing on negative events in a long term make us more susceptible to anxiety, depression and worrying. 🥵

Hardwiring hapiness in our brains leads to higher life quality, well-being, resilience, positive attitude and stable self-esteem. All of them useful in sports as well! 🥰

👀To increase your awareness on positive events in your daily life we recommend filling in Practice Journal on a regular basis. It is available in our App, where you can find guiding questions to asses your trainings- what you are proud of, and what still can be improved on your road to mastery! 💪🏼

🧠How to get into the right headspace to be successful in sports? It needs training, just like muscles.

🗣As sport psychologists we start our intervention with an assesment of athlete's mental skills (read more about it in our previous post).

👉🏻The next step is to set up goals and create an 'action plan' for the next weeks or months of regular sessions.

💪🏼You're the expert when it comes to your needs, feelings, thoughts and you know best what works for you and what does not. During our sessions we present to you adjusted tools and help you to acquire them properly- in a safe space, and then also during training and competitions.

💙Monitoring progress can't be skipped. Everyone is different and what we offer is an individual aproach, regarding factors like self-development, monitoring progress and life-long learning.

💪🏼Each aspect of your work must be finished with visible results. Because this is why you do it, right? To try your best and overcome limits in your sport career and just be fullfilled, in the moment.

So this is how it looks, not that complicated, would you agree? If you're interested in one-on one sessions with sport psychologist, contact us!

In the previous post, we introduced Lesyk's model

In the previous post, we introduced Lesyk's model of 9 mental skills of successful athletes.

It shows 3 sets of skills, that athletes use throughout their carriers and training cycles.
👉🏻Basic Skills are useful in a daily practice an for setting long-term goals. These are: Attitude, Motivation, Goals and Commitment, People Skills. They are the foundation for future top performances.
👉🏻Preparatory Skills are something you can use just before any chosen situation (including competition). With some training they can be available for you whenever you need them. Mental Imagery and Self-Talk are used to set you up for the best performance on a competition day.
👉🏻Performance Skills, like Concentration and Managing Emotions and Anxiety are crucial at the moment of your actual performance.

🤩The Good news is anyone can develop them too. And we're here to help you with that. Even better- you can have a great tool just at your fingertips- accessible through your phone 😉

❓Do you know that burnout affects athletes as well as coaches? 👩🏻‍💻🔥

📚Raedeke, Lunney & Venables (2002) define burnout as a form of sport disillusionment caused by a reduced sense of accomplishment, exhaustion and sport devaluation.

There are 5️⃣ groups of symptoms:
▪️affective (depressive mod, hostility);
▪️cognitive (helplessness, focus and memory deterioration);
▪️physical (exhaustion, injuries);
▪️behavioral (absence, decrease of performance);
▪️motivational (lack of enthusiasm).

🤩How to prevent burnout? Madigan (2019), Gustafsson et. al. (2017) agree that it is important to maintain a work-life balance. Also - friends and family play an important role as a great source of support. Psychological interventions should cover mainly CBT and ACT techniques, increasing intrinsic motivation, mindfulness, and coping with stress.
🧠Prevention is the key!🔑
