How to Deal with Forgetting Details During Competition

Emotions and feelings are inherently abstract. Relying solely on this abstract level when approaching problem-solving can create a challenge. Without a focus on specific details, grasping the problem comprehensively becomes difficult, impacting the effectiveness of its execution. Merely relying on emotions in practice often results in inconsistent quality and widely varying outcomes, leading to unstable results. Conversely, making problems more concrete offers a wealth of details. By meticulously considering and mastering each specific detail, success finds a solid foundation, thus facilitating easier achievement of goals.

Therefore, sudden lapses in recalling certain details may stem from excessive nervousness or overlooking these specifics during practice sessions. When competition demands meticulous attention to these details, neglecting them in preparation can make it arduous to swiftly recall them during the actual event, potentially leading to forgetfulness.

Hence, it’s crucial to devote more attention to these intricate details during practice. This ensures a better showcase of these elements during competitions, making them a pivotal factor in achieving victory.

There are a few things that you can do to help prevent forgetting details during a competition:

Practice under pressure. One of the best ways to prepare for the pressure of a competition is to practice under similar conditions. This could involve practicing in front of an audience or practicing with a timer.

Get a good night’s sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you stay alert and focused on the day of the competition.

Eat a healthy breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast will give you the energy you need to perform at your best.

Take deep breaths. If you start to feel stressed or anxious, take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down.

Focus on the task at hand. When you are competing, it is important to focus on the task at hand and not let your mind wander.

Visualize yourself succeeding. Visualizing yourself performing well in the competition can help boost your confidence and reduce anxiety.

If you forget a detail during a competition, don’t panic. Take a deep breath and try to remember the details. If you can’t remember it, move on and focus on the task at hand.

Wait, hang on. So is the reason why Timmy is a Pixie right now is because he's not a full fledged fairy yet? How long does it take before he makes that transition?

Nobody's quite sure!! It's been so long since the last taken child, so long since the last successful taken child, that not even the Fairy Council is sure when Timmy can become a fairy. They can't put a specific number on it.

He's a full fledged Pixie though. So, that's something! They suspect he can become a Fairy once his body can handle the same level of magic that a Fairy has.

Or at least until Timmy's completely shed of everything that made him Human. For now, though, he's feeling magic growth pains, and he has two teen gremlins raiding his kitchen.

Hey adults: Why do you like being an adult? What do you like about your life?

A couple weeks ago I told the kids at my work that "Being an adult is pretty nice, actually," and they looked shocked, laughed incredulously, and told me I was the first person they'd ever heard say that

So clearly we adults need to talk about this way more often

The past few years have been hard for a lot of people, me included. Covid sucked. I lost three relatives and three pets in one year. Right after lockdown ended, I got badly injured, and ended up housebound for six months and (much more) disabled for two years, and that sucked too.

And you know what? Literally all of that was easier and better than being a teenager.

I like being an adult. I like my life. Even when it's hard, it's mine, and I am building to the best of my ability the a life that I want to live.

I talked about a lot of why being an adult is something worth looking forward to in my last post, so right now I'll simply say this:

I love actually knowing who I am now. I love that I learned and am learning what I want and need. I love that I have independence and autonomy and don't get treated like a kid. I love the fact that I'm the one who gets to decide want I want to do and what I need. I also love that I'm learning to sew. I love that I've had pet rats, and next will have a pet cat. I love that I got top surgery. I love the way I've decorated my room. I love traveling to visit and crash and even just hang out and do work with my friends, when I can. I love that I started reading good news every day, and that I actually have hope for the future, and that I started this blog and have been able to help give so many other people hope, too.

So, here's a call to action for my fellow adults: comment or reply or tag what you like about being an adult. What you love about your life.

Let's give some kids some reasons for hope.
