“Relax. Calm your mind.”
“Above all, learn the art of detachment.”
“The principle of gentleness. The art of neutralizing the effect of the opponent’s efforts and also minimizing the expenditure of your own energy.”
Forget about yourself. And focus on your opponent’s movements. Encounter the situation as it’s unfolding and seeing what the necessary response is. Bc you’re too caught up in your own strategizing. Relax and calm your mind. Get out of your head and focus on what’s happening in front of you.
Calmness without striving. To take it all in without getting triggered. to stand back far enough not so you can only see what’s happening in front of you, but so you can also see yourself to observe yourself. Oh look at me, I’m thinking too much about the situation, or wow I’m really angry. The art of detachment, to zoom out. But this is super hard to do in the moment. Forget about yourself. And focus on your opponent’s movements. Encounter the situation as it’s unfolding and seeing what the necessary response is. Bc you’re too caught up in your own strategizing. Relax and calm your mind. Get out of your head and focus on what’s happening in front of you.
