Hi, Performers Achievers. Welcome to Performers Achievers Daily with me, Raj Gavrilla, in today's episode. Importance of your mental technique and mental skill creates your physical technique and skill. So your mental technique and skill creates your physical technique and skill. What is that about? What's that about is are those two aligned? So in other words, when you're performing, if you're a little off or something's not quite right, or you're looking to make more progression the skill to the next level. Right. Well, it's like most things. You identify the skill or identify what's off. What's quite not right. Or what maybe need to be removed or something to add. And let's say the physical skill and skill All right. They are created right. So what does that mean? That means that the mental technique the mental skill is right. Let me back that up. When the physical technique, physical skill, is right, it means the mental technique and mental skill is right. So it's going to first start with your mental technique and skill to create the physical technique and skill. Therefore, since it is in that order, it's essential that you first have the mental technique and skill right. What's an example? Let's say you're performing. Whatever it may be, it could really be anything that you're performing. You're at work. I don't know what kind of work you do, it doesn't matter. All walks alike. However, every time that it's off, what's the issue? What's the problem? What's the cause? And that is because the mental technique and skill is in creating the physical technique and skill. So first it starts with the mental technique and skill. It starts with the mental technique and skill. And that's the reason why it's important for you to learn, identify the mental preparation, the mental strategies, the mental skills, and the mental tools to use. So you can create a physical technique and physical skill. So what do you work on? What do you identify? You identify the mental technique and skill in order to create the physical technique and skill. Take whatever it is that you're already successfully doing to the next level. Some of you probably will think, well, look, when I'm kicking or shooting or hitting or working on this program or putting together this presentation, or etc., you know, I'm gonna put my hand this way, or I'm gonna structure it this way. I'm gonna make it flow this way, and you think, probably think some of you, that you're adapting or adjusting the physical technique and skill, however, where it's originating is from your mental technique and skill. So, therefore, the mental technique and skill creates the physical technique and skill, right? So some people say, Well, you learn by doing, and you just go out there and you just start doing it, and you receive feedback, and then you do successive approximation, and therefore you got feedback becomes something that you use as an input so that you can make corrections to your physical technique and skill. The issue or problem is that you're missing the importance of having the mental technique and skill in order to create the physical technique and skill. Everybody can do certain things, etc., etc., regardless of what it is that you're doing or working on or performing or achieving, accomplishing. However, oh, as a youth or you know, before you get to that professional level, it's all this other stuff, and then I go back to my original opening. Your mental technique and skill creates your physical technique and skill. So, what that means is that doesn't matter what age, doesn't matter whether you're a professional or not, that's the way, that's the order. So you learn both, you identify what to learn, learn the mental technique and skill, and then that creates the physical technique and skill, right? It's not a brain teaser, mind teaser, that's not what I'm doing or trying to do here. I am though emphasizing your mental technique and skill. Create your physical technique and skill. So if you're a little off, you may make a physical or adjust your physical technique and skill. However, where does it originate from? It originates from your mental technique and skill. Created that physical technique and skill that you made an adjustment to that you adapted to that makes sense. That's what I'm for you today. If you like my podcast, like it. Comment in the comment section. You've been watching the Olympics? You watch the Super Bowl? So what's occurring? Whether you see them, you know, you might be a Seattle Seahawks fan, you might be a Team USA fan, or you pick specific athletes that you're cheering for, pulling for, or maybe you're another country's fan, maybe you're cheering for someone else that's from another country, pulling for somebody else from another country, right? And so when you see those performances that they have, let's say a gold medal performance, what do you see? You see the physical technique and skill. You're watching it like this, you're seeing it with your eyes. What you don't see is the mental technique and skill that was used to create physical technique and skill. So, what's an example? One of the examples is Michaela Schifrin. Last night she won the goal. I think it's called the giant slalom. Maybe I think that's I think that's right. I'm not an expert in all the ski events, but it's the one where you ski down the hill and you go between these poles, red and blue, and go back and forth, back and forth, and eventually you go to the finish line. Right? And what she said was you know, nothing to dream about. All it is is start, ski through the poles, just ski through the poles, finish. She gave you some insight into her mental technique and skill to create the physical technique and skill. And she won the gold medal. Now, for someone like me, I could take that. I could say, okay, I'll do what Michaela did. I'll start. I might probably could make it by the first pole before I'd be off balance trying to get in position to get to the next pole, and I'd fall, or I'd be disqualified because I'd skipped a pole. So, you know, maybe I have the mental technique and skill to start. What I don't have is the mental technique and skill to ski through the poles to create the physical technique and skill. Maybe that sheds some light on to my episode today. Give you an example of obviously where someone maybe favored for the gold or favored to metal, and they didn't. However, I'm not going to put that example in you. You can, if you would like, think of that. See what that looks like.com. Fill out the brief form, and we will contact you as soon as we can. Enjoy your day.
