Day 28: The Goldfish Memory (Resetting After Failure)
Ted Lasso was right. The happiest animal on earth is a goldfish. Why? It has a 10-second memory.
The "Flush" Ritual: When you make a mistake (throw an interception, miss a lift), you have 10 seconds to feel bad. Then, you must flush it.
- Physical Flush: Make a "flushing" motion with your hand (like a toilet handle).
- Visual Flush: Visualize the mistake swirling down the drain.
- Verbal: Say "Next."
If you carry the last play into the next play, you will lose twice.
