Optimizing Growth, Performance, and Wellness From Feedback
"Feedback is the desired lunch, dinner, and snack of elite performers. Just as food nurtures the body, feedback-pleasant and unpleasant-can serve as nourishment for well-being and growth when we allow for it."
"Awareness, enabling in-the-moment presence, is an essential component of acceptance and commitment training (ACT), based on contextual behavioral science (CBS). ACT is a well-documented and popular approach of mental health and sports/performance professionals."
"There are two sources of feedback, according to ACT. External origins (information from the outside world) and internal sources (information from the inside world)."
Feedback, both pleasant and unpleasant, is crucial for personal growth and well-being. It can come from external sources like coaches and peers, as well as internal reflections. Awareness and acceptance are key components of acceptance and commitment training (ACT), which emphasizes the importance of being present to absorb feedback effectively. Metaphors play a significant role in ACT, helping individuals relate to complex concepts. Understanding the sources of feedback enhances the ability to utilize it for improvement.
