STACKING CONFIDENCE
信心叠加
My son, Jaden, is a bowler who has won multiple awards in competitions. Although I don't have a natural talent for bowling, I occasionally go to watch him play or pick up and cherish his prized bowling balls. Gradually, as I watched more, I began to appreciate the difference between a pro and an amateur.
One day, I was sitting in the bowling alley watching a match and felt very curious. I took out my phone to compare world-class bowlers like Jason Belmonte from Australia and E.J. Tackett from the United States. I noticed that their mindsets were different, which was reflected in their body language.
When a pro misses a ball, they walk back to their spot at a leisurely pace, with their head held high and no expression of disappointment. They focus on preparing for the next spare.
When they get a strike, they fist pump and cheer themselves on, even pounding their chest and shouting "YES!"
In contrast, the body language of an amateur:
When they miss a ball, they look down at the ground, shake their head, and even make gestures of blaming themselves, as if saying "Why did I do that?"
Conversely, when they get a strike, they appear overly calm, without encouraging themselves or showing excitement.
Confidence needs to be "stacked." Each self-encouragement adds up, making them more positive and fearless. Remember that confidence is a result, and good results must be stacked so that confidence can be displayed to the fullest. Otherwise, the emotion of self-blame will be stacked up, covering up the expected display of confidence.
From now on, stack your confidence and don't let negative emotions overshadow it. Turn it into a habit, stick with it for 10 days, 30 days, 66 days, until it becomes a successful habit.
我的儿子Jaden是一名保龄球选手，曾经获得过多个比赛的奖项。虽然我对保龄球没有什么特别的天赋，但我偶尔会去看他打球，或者负责接送他和他的珍贵保龄球。随着时间的推移，当我观察得越来越多时，我开始领略到高手和普通选手之间的区别。
有一天，我坐在保龄球场看比赛，感到十分好奇。我拿出手机对比世界级保龄球手，如澳大利亚的Jason Belmonte和美国的E.J. Tackett。我发现他们的心态不同，这体现在他们的身体语言上。
高手在打失一球时，会以悠闲的速度走回自己的位置，头部不会垂下，不会摇头，没有失望的表情，专心准备下一球的补中。
当他们打出全中时，他们会握紧拳头自我鼓励，甚至敲打胸口，大声喊出“YES！”
相比之下，普通选手的身体语言：
在打失一球时，他们会低着头看着地面，摇着头，甚至做出责备自己的手势，表现出“为什么会这样？”的意思。
相反，当他们打出全中时，他们会表现得过于冷静，没有自我鼓励的话语，也没有表现出兴奋的情绪。
信心需要“叠加”，即每次自我鼓励都会叠加在一起，使他们变得更加积极和无畏。要知道信心是结果，必须叠加好的结果，才能展现出信心的满满表现。否则，自我责备的情绪会叠加在一起，掩盖信心的表现。
从现在开始，让我们一起叠加自己的信心，不要让负面情绪掩盖信心。将它们变成一种习惯，坚持10天、30天、66天，直到形成成功的习惯。
Love. David
