Pressure

When you are stepping on the court of the championship game or when you are on the line and need to hit both shots to win it for your team, how do you feel?

Are your palms sweaty? Do you have butterflies? Is your heart racing?

Most people would label this as “nervousness” but why? The feelings associated with “nervousness” are the same feelings that are tied to “excitement”. It is how you are perceiving it in your mind.

PRESSURE IS AN ILLUSION.

It is what you make of it.

Therefore, it is important to learn how to reframe “pressure” to something more positive such as “joy” or “excitement”.

Pressure is joy.
