Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My prep works fine until something interrupts it
- There’s a high-stakes thing coming
- There are things I rehearse over and over that I simply cannot do anything about, and I keep treating "let it go" like a switch I should be able to flip once and get frustrated when the worry comes right back
- The part is ready to let the weight go and now I’m at the actual moment of release
- When the practice step is just a private promise to myself, I let it quietly slide every time with nobody the wiser
