itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Right from our childhood we have been conditioned to avoid failure. Naturally, we have been associating failure\u00a0with<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>negative emotions such as sadness, anger, fear<\/li>\n<li>bad\u00a0thoughts such as &#8220;am I good enough?&#8221;, &#8220;I am a failure&#8221;, &#8220;good for nothing&#8221;, &#8220;I will be rejected&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>feelings such as dejection, frustration, disappointment, despair etc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My Memories after losing a game are as such &#8211; we being shouted at, made to feel guilty about, reminded about our inadequacies and\/or being denied of something.<\/p>\n<p>I have played 16 years of First Class Cricket. Unfortunately, the main context always was\u00a0to \u2018avoid failure\u2019. I guess with all the above negative associations, I simply resisted failing.<\/p>\n<p>The following mental errors happen when\u00a0you\u00a0focus on avoiding failure:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Forcing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One starts to force a result which in fact is an uncontrollable entity. The brain doesn\u2019t trust the body to produce the actions, and tries to interfere with it.<\/p>\n<p>This overrides\u00a0our\u00a0natural ability to express ourselves \u2013 which is the essence of peak performance. The more we force, the worse we perform. We become anxious, clumsy and make more mistakes.\u00a0We turn our focus to\u00a0our opponent instead of executing our own game plan. This leads to frustration and complete loss\u00a0of control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Helplessness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When we experience a series of setbacks on the field, as an\u00a0alternate response to forcing is learned helplessness. Learned helplessness is backing away from the challenge and playing below one\u2019s ability. This response is to\u00a0demonstrate that nothing is going our\u00a0way and so it\u2019s best to just go through the motions. It\u00a0is a way to avoid the disappointment of trying and failing.<\/p>\n<p>The more we try to avoid failure the more we fail.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s look at how to Master the Fear of Failure!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-d59938ea8e504299918568998e6a1d7e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-d59938ea8e504299918568998e6a1d7e{\nheight:75px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-d59938ea8e504299918568998e6a1d7e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_fifth '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-2d47f9ce0b00fd05718d1ec4779473a2\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-2d47f9ce0b00fd05718d1ec4779473a2{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-2d47f9ce0b00fd05718d1ec4779473a2 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_four_fifth  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-7a4d48dae174eb4217fe83524b4750d6\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-7a4d48dae174eb4217fe83524b4750d6 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-7a4d48dae174eb4217fe83524b4750d6 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-7a4d48dae174eb4217fe83524b4750d6 av-styling- avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 pop-up avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-12  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-2146 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-2146 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Calm_Face-80x80.png\" alt='' title='Calm_Face'  height=\"80\" width=\"80\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Calm_Face-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Calm_Face-300x296.png 300w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Calm_Face-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Calm_Face-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Calm_Face-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Calm_Face-450x444.png 450w, https:\/\/spyn.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Calm_Face.png 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 80px) 100vw, 80px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_four_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28\">\n.flex_column.av-av_four_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_four_fifth-2a64de42b738552fe666ca889af77e28 av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_heading-7d29f0e63580220546581d37ec573e73\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-7d29f0e63580220546581d37ec573e73{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-7d29f0e63580220546581d37ec573e73 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-7d29f0e63580220546581d37ec573e73 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-7d29f0e63580220546581d37ec573e73 av-special-heading-h2  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >1.
