You see a lot of guys when they cross the rope—some of them are religious—they do something that is obviously indicating some sort of religious feeling for them. Others do something physical and it’s usually the same thing each time. Some of them touch the ground, etc. So, I need to work with the routines they already have and try to make them slightly more effective in terms of the way they think. The second phase is all about teaching them how to think more effectively. Not only do we do the NOISE affirmation but I also teach them things like basic Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, where they become, in effect, their own ‘psychologist’. And they learn to argue against silly, inappropriate, and/or dysfunctional thinking. If you put paper clips in your pockets and for four hours take one paper clip out of your pocket and put it into another pocket every time you have a negative thought, you’d be surprised how many negative thoughts you have by the end of the four hours. I’ve done this with many International teams and what I found is that there is virtually no one, (in the four-hour period when they first start training with me), who does not have negative thoughts. But it can be quite easy to get them to reduce the number of negative thoughts they have with something as simple as diaphragmatic breathing.
