Ep. 75: Stop Fighting Nerves: The Real Way to Unlock Flow
In today's solo-cast, I’m digging into something I see all the time with athletes and high performers, the way we misunderstand nerves, pressure, and what it actually takes to access flow.
We’ve been taught that the goal is to calm down, relax, and eliminate anxiety before we perform. But in reality, that approach can pull us further away from our best.
I break down why being a little “too activated” is often exactly where you want to be, how to rethink your relationship with nerves, and what it really looks like to find that sweet spot between challenge and skill.
I also share a practical tool, the trigger breath, that you can start training right away to create just enough space in your system to let performance happen instead of forcing it.
This is about shifting out of control mode and into a place where you can trust your preparation, work with your physiology, and access a higher level of performance more consistently.
