Sharkie Sep 2021 2:47pm, 14 Sep 2021 18,583 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie Your blogs are FABULOUS Chimbo. I hesitate to say I enjoy them, because there's much anguish and pain therein - but you write so well, with such humour and clarity I may well link your blog (with your permission)

Chimbo Sep 2021 2:56pm, 14 Sep 2021 46 posts	Quote Pin Chimbo Haha, quite possibly, I've just posted a blog that's perhaps applicable to that...
Sharkie Sep 2021 2:58pm, 14 Sep 2021 18,586 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie Part of my reason for starting this thread: I'm trying to find useful, accessible sports psychology material. I did find Headspace useful when I first tried it in 2014. Well, I THINK I did! That's the problem - perhaps I just had a good year in comparison to the previous two or three. I did something else different that year - made myself part of the senior athletics team rather than limiting myself to the Vets team. Sometimes change is what we need. I widened rather than narrowed my options/horizons. That 'might' have been as useful as Andy Hesitate Pudifoot.
Chimbo Sep 2021 3:01pm, 14 Sep 2021 47 posts	Quote Pin Chimbo Writing them is definitely helping me. I still haven't started doing the research I've been talking about since last year, but even just putting down some of my thoughts had eased my head fuzz a little
Little Miss Happy Sep 2021 3:04pm, 14 Sep 2021 4,938 posts	Quote Pin Little Miss Happy CBT can be very helpful in almost any situation where we need to control our thoughts. Learning to identify, challenge and change unhelpful negative thoughts takes practise but is accessible to all. One of these may provide a starting point: nhs.uk One of my favourite self-talk phrases is 'there's always an excuse if you want one'. It is easy to talk yourself in to or out of anything.
Sharkie Sep 2021 3:08pm, 14 Sep 2021 18,588 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie I agree LMH. Had loads of therapy (including an actual psychiatrist, get me) when I was young and a bit mad and what I now know is YOU HAVE TO PUT THE WORK IN YOURSELF. No-one can do it for you. CBT is the same (and it's not for everyone)

Sharkie Sep 2021 3:09pm, 14 Sep 2021 18,589 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie Meaning I agree - it takes practice. Don't be lazy! Commit!
