I lost my lucidity!

Athlete...I Lost My Lucidity! Several months ago, I started writing a book about lucidity, based on my own experiences. During a karate tournament, I was faced with an opponent who performed a technique that I was not used to blocking and I did not know how to react.

I Lost My Lucidity!

At the start of the fight, I had great concentration, but when I saw this unfamiliar technique, I lost my ground and lucidity. I realized during the fight that I was unable to analyze the situation and react spontaneously. In my head, I had an internal dialogue that was very prominent. I could visualize these thoughts from the outside and repeatedly heard myself say, "ok, attack, make points." I was unable to change my strategy, even though I should have relaxed and thought about changing my pace.

This experience is one of the most memorable for me regarding lucidity. It caught me by surprise as I did not expect it to happen.

The inability to handle the fight and regain my lucidity disappointed and shamed me.

Losing Consciousness

After the experience, I started researching the phenomenon of losing consciousness and lucidity. When we are paralyzed, we repeat the same thing over and over again instead of adapting to the situation and changing our strategy.

I did a quick Google search using keywords such as "lucidity in sport" and "losing lucidity". There were few articles and most of the results led me to information about lucid dreaming, which I had never heard of before. I also looked for books on lucidity in sports but found that there were none available. This surprised me as I thought that many athletes had experienced what I did during the fight.

I believe that losing lucidity can happen in any sport, including basketball, tennis, or soccer, when emotions overwhelm you and prevent rational thinking.

Lucidity and Performance

This experience further motivated me to pursue my project and write a book specifically for athletes about losing lucidity and how to prevent or regain it quickly.

I started asking athletes if they had ever experienced a loss of lucidity in their sport and found that the definition was not clear to them. I started looking into the definition of lucid dreaming and found that the definition of lucidity was not clear either.

To be lucid is to have a clear mind, but this is impossible when under pressure and unable to manage emotions. There is a strong link between emotions and lucidity. With a clear mind, we can quickly analyze a situation, which is essential in sports.

In sports, quick decisions need to be made, such as passing the ball or scoring a goal. If you are clogged with emotions, you will not be able to respond effectively and consistently.

I will continue my research on the aspects of lucidity and welcome athletes to share their experiences and questions in the comments section. I am going to conduct interviews with athletes to give them a clearer definition of lucidity. Stay tuned!
