Don't Think About It!

Al Truscott

Denizens of this forum may have noticed I am a proponent of taking the conscious mind out of the athletic equation, and letting the body just do its thing.

"Unthinking is the ability to apply years of learning at the crucial moment by removing your thinking self from the equation."

The above is a quote from an article in Intelligent Life (a sister publication of the weekly newsmagazine, The Economist) which explains the concept elegeantly and succintly.

I took the new quote in my sig line (below) from the article.

The signature line has vanished everywhere, and the dashboard format is a little screwy too. Time for the admin guy to find and fix! Meanwhile, I shall try to think less!

Here's the Dylan quote:

“As you get older, you get smarter, and that can hinder you…You’ve got to programme your brain not to think too much.”

I call it "staying out of the way."
