Ready for a mindset transformation? In this episode, I sit down with Neal Palles, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Mental Performance Coach based in Longmont, Colorado. With a master's degree in applied sport psychology, Neal helps us better understand the intricacies of mental skills training and performance psychology - from embracing uncertainty and clarifying values to cultivating acceptance.
We delve into the delicate dance of harmonious and obsessive passion, discover the resilience-building power of imagery, and explore the art of emotional regulation. Neal guides us on a journey of self-discovery, clarifying personal values and unveiling the transformative impact of mental support. Join us for a masterclass in mindset mastery – your key to navigating life's challenges with grace and purpose.
Here are 5 takeaways from the conversation:
1. The difference between harmonious and obsessive
passion, and how to balance multiple goals and values.
2. Using mental imagery to rehearse challenging scenarios and build
mental resilience.
3. The importance of emotional regulation and redirecting emotions
productively.
4. Clarifying personal values through examining goals, sources of
anger/passion, and life themes.
5. Differentiating terms like mental performance coaching, sports
psychology, and psychotherapy.
