THE YOUTH FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Students filed a petition before the Supreme Court to challenge the constitutionality of a certain provision of the Public-Private Partnership code on grounds of the protection of people’s rights to a healthy and balanced ecology.

The petition was filed representing the Filipino youth and unborn generations, with public and private personalities named as respondents.

Linda Noskova may have done the hardest thing in sport...She choked. She was leading the finals at Wimbledon 6-2, 5-2, and then lost 5 straight games.

It got so bad she put her fingers in her ears to try to drown out the crowd.

And yet, after near collapse, she somehow reset. And won the final set to take home her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon.

It is INSANELY hard to pull yourself out of a spiral.

Noskova described it as, "My hand kind of froze at the end of the second set. I have never been in such a situation. The pressure was definitely on." When we choke, we revert to being a 6 year old, we're thinking about every movement and it becomes rigid.

Sport psychologist Len Zaichowsky described it to me as, "When we choke, we feel pressure, cortisol gets released, and our thoughts and attention shift to the negative or irrelevant. We start to analyze our automatic responses. And then it's all over." When everything starts to spiral, it's so hard to get out of it. Every piece of evidence is telling your brain to shut down, protect, panic.

So what did she do? She reset.

"I told myself the match was starting over. I went to the bathroom, splashed cold water on my face, and reset everything."

This is brilliant for a few reasons.

1. She changed locations, took a pause. Moving physical locations, even if for just a moment, helps free you up. It's why therapists tell couples arguing to move from the bedroom to the kitchen or outside to take a walk. Our environment invites different states.

2. She redefined the starting line. She treated it like a new game. What happened happened. Can't worry about it. Next play mentality

3. She splashed water.

Most of us try to think our way out of overthinking...Sometimes that can work.  But when you're in a spiral, you have to reconnect body and brain. Sometimes, a shock to the system, cold water, slapping your face, can remind you that you're embodied.

It reconnects feeling and doing, while choking severs that relationship.

Cold water in particular has a strong effect. Thanks to the diving reflex, when we splash cold water on our face, it drops our heart rate and gets us to feel more relaxed.

Your brain is constantly reading your signals. When everything around it is screaming stress and spiral, it listens. When you splash water, take a deep breath, smile...you send the opposite signal: we're not dying. It's not over. We're okay.

And finally, "On the last match point, I didn't even realize that I had a match point. I kept going. That's what really won it for me, that I didn't exactly put it into my head."

She's saying she closed it out because she stopped consciously tracking the stakes. She pulled herself out of the over-thinking

It's easy to talk about. Much harder to do. Noskova offered us a masterclass in resilience.

Respond Not React
Next Play
Have a Reset Ritual
Be where your feet are
Get out of your head, let your body do what it knows how to.

It's not over until it's over.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The art of not being ready and doing it anyway will take you so far.”

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

You know what’s insensitive?

Former Ateneo players being defensive of the institution when people are clamoring for accountability; when the families of the victims are saying they are being kept in the dark. That’s what is insensitive. Nobody asked their piece.

There is a Japanese legend that says:
if you miss the bus, maybe you avoided the accident. If you got rejected, maybe you were saved from the wrong place. If they left, maybe they made room for who is coming. The universe protects you in ways that look like bad luck at first. Trust the detour.🍂

Palawan, the Philippine's LAST FRONTIER, is known for being pristine and biodiverse. It is now under threat from deforestation due to mining. @DENROfficial, protect our trees and mountains, not the greedy mining companies.
