The Olympic gold medalist Tom Daley took advantage of the old full care strategy to help him overcome the pressure of acting in the world’s largest sporting event, he told CNBC.
“The pressure of what it means to enter an Olympic game where you have to act on that day, and those six dives have to be perfect, and if they are not, it is over,” Daley, more decorated and recently decorated from Great Britain and Recently Fun retired, Bryer told CNBC in the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January. “Then, upon entering that, of course, it is completely scary, and you have to get to a place where you can be as relaxed and quiet as possible.”
The diving race at the 16 -year -old Daley Olympic Games began at age 14 when he won gold in the European championship. He has won a total of five Olympic medals.
Speaking to the Bryer of CNBC, he admitted that he was skeptical about full attention at the beginning, but discovered that he grew up in him later.
“After 2016, I began to do full attention. I started doing breathing techniques, guided meditations and it took me for years to do it, because as soon as someone said: ‘Oh, you should try full attention, you should try meditation’ Like ‘come on.
Daley found him “challenging” at the beginning, but finally entered the rhythm of things.
“What I loved was the fact that I could go to this mental bank if you want. This mental bank is that it does not run out of effective. SOr, throughout the day, you can return to this mental bank and take any cash that you need to perform in the best way, “he explained.
Full attention is a proven method that has been shown to reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. A study of 2024 of 1,247 adults from 91 countries by University of Southampton and Bath He discovered that, after a month of practicing full attention for 10 minutes a day, the participants reported reduced depression, improved well -being and decreased anxiety.
In fact, just a few minutes of full attention a day can mark a world of difference, Vishen Lakhiani, CEO of MindValley and a 20 -year meditation expert, said previously. CNBC does it.
“People think that the duration of their meditation is what determines the quality of their meditation. (That) is not true … do not think that you need an hour in meditation,” he said.
“You can take a drop from one to three minutes in tranquility, and you can see notable results. The greatest benefits will happen in the first minutes,” Lakhiani added at that time.
Weave as a form of full attention
Daley said it became more difficult to find time to practice full attention after having children. He and her husband Dustin Lance Black have two children together, age of one and six years.
“Then he was born (the eldest son) Robbie and, sitting for 10 minutes of full attention throughout the day, he became a bit impossible. Because, with the children, any father will know that he can be interrupted in several points throughout the day, “Daley told Bryer.
“It was actually just at the beginning of the blockade (Covid-19) where my full attention trip changed to weave His rest and recovery is as important as diving training itself. “
Daley’s husband suggested at that time that he had to start knitting, so he ordered needles and taught how to weave up youtube videos.
This led to an Instagram average account on its knit trip and crochet fabric called “Made with Love”, which now has 1.4 million followers until Thursday. Daley finally turned his passion to weave into a business where he sells his creations.
“My passion is to be able to bring crafts as a form of full attention to as many people as possible, and not just the tissue fabric and crochet. I mean, it can be embroidered, it can be a cross stitch, the manufacture of candles Whatever. “
