INSPIRATION
Starting the game it’s not enough to know the effective methods and to have the necessary instruments. We need something elusive that hides under the word “inspiration”. How can we get it?
In the presence of inspiration your pulse and blood pressure changes, pupils of the eyes widen, respiratory rate increases, muscle tone rises, the activity of endocrine glands and external glands intensifies. But you don’t take notice of it. You’re absorbed in your game. And also it’s difficult to fix the many points of this list. In such moments it’s rather easy to control only pulse and respiratory rate.
Everything in our body has the feedback. The emotional state changes the respiratory rate and the respiratory rate changes the emotional mood.
Your task is to create a ritual you’ll do every day before the game and also in every situation you need inspiration. You should:
1. Remember the situation when you managed everything easily, effortlessly, merrily… Remember your feelings and then try to arouse them on purpose.
2. Concentrate your attention at your feelings, try to identify the inspiration in your body. What is it? How does it look like? What colour is it? What temperature is it?, etc.
3. Invent some bodily movement prompted by your inspiration. You may jump or squat, dance or stand with raised arms, or maybe you’ll want to cry or something else. Ask your inspiration about it and the inspiration will tell you.
4. Remember your state and the ritual you have invented. By this ritual you can arouse the inspiration in every moment, in every place. But you should consolidate it that is acquire a habit.
5. To acquire a habit of arousing the inspiration you should repeat this exercise twenty one times at the very least. But do not repeat it on end, it’ll give you the little effect. There must be pauses between exercises.
Your ritual is ready. Describe your feelings in detail and pay attention at how the ritual influences your emotional state.
This ritual is yours for all your life. It’s one of the most important presents the Game has made for you, remember it.
