"Try not to bend the spoon, that is impossible, instead, early on try to realize the truth, _there is no spoon_ , and you'll realize it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself." I apply this sentiment to emotional experiences themselves: *Try not to change the **_emotion_** you are experiencing, instead, early on try to realize the truth, **_the emotion exist only as it's experience to you_** , and you'll realize it isn't the emotion that changes, it's your experience of it*

Yes the perception in your mind has changed and that's a major thing. But it's not just perception, circumstances have changed too. The stakes are now higher. That said, it's still the exact same walking of the plank. It's no harder than crossing it on land, only in your mind. Poignant.

@MichielVoogt 6 жыл бұрын

Well, not only does the perception of the plank changes, the consequence changes as well. If you fall, you will get hurt. Just as in gym. In training, if you tap, you just slap hands and roll again. If you tap in a big match you're out.

Yeah, but it's very important to remember, that loss in competition is not the end of the world either. He talks more about mental safety net, that wil allows people to avoid additional pressure.

@Dannibalcorpse 5 жыл бұрын

both are equally valid ways to view the same event. The plank up high may have greater consequences, but if you must cross it, it might be more advantageous to see it as the same plank you cross every day. That perspective may make you more relaxed, less stiff, and therefore, less inclined to fall. The difference is that those who are successful embrace mindsets that breed success.

The plank parable is a good analogue for training and fighting. If you fall from a plank on the ground, nothing happens. If you fall from a plank between two buildings, you get seriously injured or die. Just like you can make a mistake in training and get away. In a match or fight you face a real chance of getting hurt and embarrassed.
