MENTAL COMBAT- is a strategy to unlock your full potential: body and brain. It helps you become the fighter in life. Achieve full domination of everything.
MENTAL COMBAT PROCESS:
Recognize the conflict; if you do not know what to do in a certain action, take a step back and recognize what is happening. Example: in school or work someone is acting with you such way that makes you feel uncomfortable. Stop, (you can take out a notebook and write down.) “this person is making me feel {emotion}, this might be happening because {reasons} .
Manage the conflict; see what is happening, control your reactions, now that you know why this situation is happening you can control yourself more easily.
Analyze; asses that person, write down their weaknesses, the mistakes they already made, don’t forget about their strengths, sidestep them. Example: if your opponent is stronger in social life, take a step back from their circle, form a group of misfits that can help you and focus on their smarts or strength or other weaknesses.
React; react while keeping recording to your last step. Always keep calm, manage the stress and in the end analyze the results. If needed attack other weaknesses.
LOSSING VS WINNING: what to do:
LOSSING;
1. Analyze what went wrong, what you needed to do but didn’t.
2. Write down what you need to improve. What you did, but it wasn’t performed to the fullest.
3. Recognize what your opponent did better. Where werehe stronger then you.
4. See what you did well after all (it can be as little as the right step at the right time, or as big as the right mindset.)
5. Adjust your training. Now that you know what was your biggest mistakes, aim to destroy them in training.
WINNING:
Be humble and gracious. Your cockiness will get your opponent mad and he will focus the next fight and training just to beat you. Let them believe you are their friend. If they trust you, they’ll have no need to train for you only and they’ll focus on other opponents.
Keep looking for ways to improve. Even if you won, you are still human and all humans make mistakes. Make sure that you know these mistakes and improve on them.
Find new goals. If wining was your goal. Find a new, bigger goal. (it can be to win the season again, but this time make less mistakes.)
Recognize your work. Sit down and think about all your work. Every single train and every single work out. Thank them and thank yourself for pushing yourself to do them.
