""Today I escaped from the crush of circumstances, or better put, I threw them out, for the crush wasn't from outside me but in my own assumptions.""
""It isn't events themselves that disturb people, but only their judgments about them.""
""Performers able to effectively respond to that potentially distracting mind chatter and the emotion and body sensations that tag along with them are able to minimize 'emotional crush.'""
""The ability to pursue valued goals despite the presence of distress is a major component of what contextual behavioral science (CBS) terms psychological flexibility.""
Misleading thoughts and emotions can distract and disrupt effective performance. Individuals do not control the random thoughts and emotions that arise. Both wanted and unwanted thoughts can either inform constructively or wreck performance. The emotional 'crush' stems from assumptions and judgments rather than actual circumstances. Effective performers can respond to distracting mind chatter and minimize emotional distress, which is a key aspect of psychological flexibility. This ability allows individuals to pursue valued goals despite the presence of distress.
