Emotional Alchemy for Athletes: Flip Frustration to Determination

Getting angry or frustrated with yourself when you are slumping or underperforming is not bad; it’s understandable. 

And it happens to all of us.

But if you sit and wallow in that anger, that's not very useful. 

That's not going to get you very far.

Instead, we want to transmute that anger into determination and use it to propel ourselves forward; that's how we control the flow of energy. 

That's how we get ourselves out of slumps. 

Flip the energy into something useful.  

When you experience these flashes of anger in disappointing moments, instead of losing your cool or cursing yourself, take a deep breath, fortify your shield, and imagine all that anger bubbling up into white hot determination. 

Allow the feeling of firm determination to fill your shield and begin to circulate through. 

Bath in the energy of determination, and feel your focus intensify as you lock into this success vibration.  

Then, try again.  

This is how you perform emotional alchemy. This is how you can take a seemingly low emotional state and transmute it into a usable substance that can aid you in achieving your life goals.

 As you learn to charge your shield with momentum-building vibrations at will, you will be able to prevent yourself from falling into prolonged slumps.

Control the energy. Control the game.
