Unit 8 Blog-2 Most Beneficial...

There are many practices that develop mental fitness. The two that work best for me are visualization and meditation. I like visualization because it helps me with keeping track of schoolwork. Additionally, I practice it before my races and it helps me out very much. I imagine myself getting to the front of the other 7 riders, and then from there the next goal is the holeshot, (the first to the first turn). It helps me go through the endless possibilities of a BMX race. Meditation helps me stay calm before the race, which is necessary to get the holeshot. Calm and confident are the two most important aspects of the fine details of the start of a BMX race. Meditation also helps me in school or at work. Specifically, when I feel frustrated or overwhelmed. Meditation also has its health benefits, such as strengthening our heart. I have used visualization for quite some time, but meditation, loving-kindness, and subtle mind are all new to me.
