Anger gives you drive. Cold fury is the most powerful. If well placed it allows to keep the drive past the adrenaline.
The if part is the critical one.
Negative emotions are often poisonous and after a while a person realizes it is kind of a bad fuel. I realised that toning them down allows better directing.
To finish: anger is an effective driver.
- twodave 3y agoThis is the literal same term I use while weight lifting. I channel all pain and rage into the lift. It sounds crazy, but it works since a lot of athletic activity is about training your mind in the first place. My workout buddy says he can see it on my face when I’m in the cold fury.
- abound 3y agoSame here. Weightlifting for me is sometimes more of a mental workout than a physical workout. Getting oneself into the headspace to "go for broke" on that final set is crazy taxing and requires a ton of focus, especially for full body lifts like squat and deadlift. I find lifting moderates my mood more than anything, it's hard to be angry when you've thrown all that emotional energy into a set.
