I mean, for me, one instructive thing that helped me - albeit indirectly - was a really good friend and martial arts teacher. I'm pretty clumsy and would beat myself up on trying to learn a technique..and it would just get worse and worse..and one day my buddy says to me "I see what you are doing. Stop it." And I'm like "Yeah I know this kick sucks and.." and he cut me off and said (and I paraphrase) "No, your technique is what it is..that's physical. That just takes practice and you will get better. No what I want you to stop is that little internal emotional dialogue you are having right now telling yourself how much you suck and how uncoordinated you are. Just stop it. Seperate your action form your emotion at this time. Just do. Just practiec this movement. Put no emotional content in it, because it's messing you up. Later, when you actually have a mechanical base for this you CAN put emotion into it, and the right kind of emotion. Just relax and do it. No emotion, positive or negative."
I did and it changed how I trained 1000%. It also really effected how I looked at doing alot of things in my life. Maybe that story will help...
