Mindfulness and acceptance based approaches

Be mindful of yourself

Discipline yourself

If something annonces itself to you, just fix it

Focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment.

Mindfulness- and acceptance-based approaches are gaining momentum with sport psychology practitioners who work to support elite athletes. These third wave cognitive behavioral approaches in sport psychology highlight that thought suppression and control techniques can trigger a metacognitive scanning process, and that excessive cognitive activity and task-irrelevant focus (self-focused attention such as trying to change thoughts) disrupts performance. source
