Feeling “nervous energy” or “butterflies in your stomach” is common before sports performance. Instead of trying to suppress this feeling to get rid of it, bring your awareness to it. Take a few deep breaths, or belly breaths, while you focus your attention on the “butterflies” in your body. By breathing into that area, you shift your mind to be present with the feelings and change how you experience them.
“When you can’t center your eyes, you can’t quiet your mind, and you need that quiet for your concentration—that’s when the third eye (or the ability to visualize) comes into play.”
