Why do you need to do the “Prayer of Purpose” first?
That's because our brains have three ways of functioning and working -
Conscious processes, subconscious processes, creating new unconscious processes.
These three ways are the basis for establishing and maintaining your own view of yourself.
No matter whether it is right or wrong, good or bad, as long as you establish it, your brain will gradually believe it to be true.
If you always give yourself an "unfavorable target signal", over time, your brain will gradually believe this "target signal". If you can always give yourself a "favorable target signal", your actual performance is likely to be positively affected.
This is because the self-image can provide a deeper subconscious response to both unfavorable and favorable attitudes.
The human species is a species that is affected by the mind at all times.
No one is spared.
Then the world's top athletes also need a world-class "goal prayer" when preparing for competitions.
This aspect is actually a method that began to spread among athletes after "sports psychology" gradually became a system.
Use your conscious and subconscious minds to better prepare for battle and get the best feedback from your body.
For example, Jackson, the "Zen Master" of the Chicago Bulls, actually asks the whole team to conduct meditation training and even hold "spiritual meetings" before games. These methods recorded in his autobiography are actually one of the first methods to use "sports psychology" and "goal prayer" in the field of competitive sports.
Simply put, the Purpose Prayer can minimize your bad habits and disengagement.
Let top athletes be in a "slightly nervous and excited" optimal competitive state at all times.
For example, the "target prayer" that Su Shen has formulated now is just a few key words at the moment——
Endurance, bonding, control.
The target phrase is -
Preparing for the National Games.
This is what he needs to do most right now, and it is also the simplest goal in the near future. By writing it on the bedside or on the palm of his hand, he can remind himself at all times to minimize verbose thinking and conduct goal training quickly and concentratedly.
Although it sounds simple, in fact, scientists later obtained the results through the brain waves and brain responses of the human body——
The reason why decisions are negative or unclear is because of the game between your behavior and thoughts.
Doing this will cause you to consume extra body energy, which is not conducive to top preparation.
After the optimal optimization and optimal concentration of thoughts and psychology is over, it is time to move on to the next step.
Get up in the morning to re-define your goals and deepen your keyword options during this period, because morning is the time when your brain restarts the most during the day. You need to re-reinforce your goals and key points so that you have a clear goal from the beginning. .
The second is physically.
When you wake up in the morning, your body is also in a state of restarting. The first thing to do is to get your fascia started to move.
Because fascia is the connective tissue of the human body, it wraps your various cells and tissues from beginning to end, including all muscle groups that professional athletes need most.
So at this time, we need to start with him. This is the physical restart to prepare for the game.
Second is nutritional restart.
When you wake up in the morning, take a glass of 454 grams of water immediately, because this is the water your body needs every time you wake up. If replenishment cannot be guaranteed, what is the best preparation effect?
Next comes breakfast, and for your body to optimally reboot, you need to eat it within 30 minutes of waking up.
Eating it within this time period can maximize metabolism, make the brain more alert, and allow the body to gain energy to restart.
Breakfast in preparation for the competition will also be more sophisticated, and you need to eat more things with higher nutritional value than usual.
For example, whole wheat toast, low-fat yogurt, bananas, nuts, eggs, avocado, and a certain proportion of pure fruit juice.
These are actually – high-fiber carbohydrates + lean protein + healthy fats.
Then you need to inject certain vitamins and fish oil.
This is because during the competition stage, the body's fatigue and wear and tear will increase significantly, so the body needs to supplement nutrients and W-3 fatty acids. The latter, in particular, is essential for maintaining cardiovascular health and mental clarity.
It also has the anti-inflammatory effect and blood sugar regulating effect that are most needed during competition.
Start to enter the mode of eating small and frequent meals throughout the day. Under this mode, you can better control your emotions and maintain muscle mass.
In the morning training, you can also add some colorful high-fiber carbohydrates and high-quality protein to help the body recover.
This extra meal is extremely important when preparing for competition.
Because these snacks have a different meaning from the usual snacks. They are not just for you to grow muscles or maintain your body. They have a more important function -
Provide a "fuel" meaning to your competition-preparing body.
Yes, these are all “fuel preparations” to prepare your body for competition.
Just like rocket launches and aircraft aerospace, without sufficient "fuel preparation", it is impossible for you to achieve your goals.
Here's the interesting part, because after the morning snack, your race preparation lunch will be "less" than in normal life.
Switch to high-fiber carbohydrates, lean protein, healthy fats, and dark vegetables with a certain proportion of fruit.
During the preparation stage, you must keep hydrated. Otherwise, when you are a top athlete, a little lack of water will directly affect your concentration, body coordination, and nerve reaction time.
The afternoon snack should consist of fruits and some nuts.
Add in dinner and evening snacks, and the complete food prep is complete.
