FROM WHAT I’VE SEEN OF THE BEST ATHLETES AND BEST MUSICIANS, THE MOTIVATION MOST HAVE IN COMMON IS SETTING IMPOSSIBLE GOALS FOR THEMSELVES IN THEIR SPORT OR ON THEIR INSTRUMENT.
On the floor this sounds nice, admirable, however I ponder whether it is? I’ve been considered one of these strivers most of my life as a musician. I’m starting to query whether or not striving for an unreachable aim is an efficient factor. It was very exhausting on me.
It could seem like factor, if an individual turns into excellent of their sport or on their instrument by way of dissatisfaction, nevertheless it creates a state of by no means being/feeling ok. The best way a number of performers and athletes get round this, is pleasure in striving and understanding they’re higher than most others of their subject.
Once more, is that this a great way, and even optimum method to pursue an instrument or sport? What I imply, is that this the best way to be the very best you might be?
Would it not be factor to set a really excessive aim and attain it? That is the place I’m going with this essay.
CAN A PERSON SET A REALLY HIGH STANDARD IN THEIR SPORT OR ON THEIR INSTRUMENT, THAT THEY HAVE CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE IN THEIR THOUGHTS/BELIEFS, BUT NOW SEE THIS GOAL AS REACHABLE?
YES!
An apart right here, is did the musician or athlete set a low reachable aim, however inform themselves subconsciously it’s inconceivable? What if they’ve?
Then they by no means must confront themselves over setting the bar too low, as a result of they aren’t conscious they did.
I’ve had musicians not come again after one Alexander Method session, after I received her or him to play higher than they ever have.
WHAT HAPPENED WAS THEY WERE CONFRONTED BY SETTING THE BAR TOO LOW, SO THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE TO SEE THEY WEREN’T REACHING THEIR POTENTIAL. I SHOWED THEM THE BAR WAS TOO LOW.
What I’m about to write down proper now’s why I wrote this text.
ARE IMPOSSIBLY HIGH GOALS POSSIBLE? WHAT I MEAN IS CAN AN ATHLETE OR MUSICIAN SET AN EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH GOAL, AND GIVE THEMSELVES PERMISSION AND HAVE THE FAITH THEY CAN AND WILL REACH THEM?
Will they take all the steps from Alexander Method ideas into coaching or practising with religion and commit 100% and do the work with the belief they’ll get there?
They may, however after years of constructing the attainable inconceivable, may she or he settle for the inconceivable is feasible?
IT WOULD BE AN EXTRAORDINARY GIFT TO YOURSELF!
