I know it's cryptic but maybe you should just feel the way you feel and roll with that! If you're in a "letting it happen" frame of mind...roll with it! If you're in a "making it happen", Sweet Lord I NEEEED this jump so I won't have to eat Ramen Noodles for 6 months...then roll with THAT! Accept the pressure!

But in the back of my mind I know that it does." As Lawrence Fishburne exclaimed in "Searching for Bobby Fischer," when his chess student spotted the winning move, "THERE IT IS!"<br /><br />There. It. Is.<br /><br />I won't be slinging any empty, ra-ra hooey. Your having pinpointed the source of the psychosomatic problem, though, gets you at least halfway to the solution. At LEAST. Concert pianists face a similar terror; one mistake --> a bad review --> the poor house (so to speak). Olympic-level sports performance & virtuosic musicianship are at minimum =y complex (your job might be harder), and subject to a million variables, just one of which can make you crash and burn.<br /><br />But here's something.<br /><br />Legendary Martial artist Dan Inosanto said of Filipino fighters, that they believe victory & defeat to be determined by a higher power, so they're world-renowned for going all out. Presumably because, as far as they're concerned, the outcome is totally disconnected from their actions. TOTALLY. To. Tal. Ly. That leaves only one reason to fight: for its own sake. If they were long jumpers, I suppose they would say, "If I jump poorly, then God doesn't want me to pay my rent this way. I survived before jumping, and I'll survive after it, until I don't. So be it. Bring on the jump."<br /><br />Heck of a philosophy. Gangster. I'd have to be conditioned that way as a child. Acquiring that outlook as a grown man would never happen. NEVER. Not without major spiritual surgery anyway. My prayer is that you discover (or recover) within you, that capacity to accept the possibility of real failure, even permanent failure, whether or not your spiritual belief system allows you to attribute it to "a higher power." Marxists would disagree vehemently, a la, "Religion is an opiate for the masses." You're absolutely right, that talking ain't gonna get anyone to that place. It's higher-order business. (But that face you made has GOT to lighten something for you! Hilar!)<br /><br />Finally (I know right? Novel), Bianca's post got me thinking: Paul was definitely on it with that statement. Under your circumstance, let me suggest one of Solomon's. Ecclesiastes 9:10. Read this, then read your tweet, "I happily sign all scraps of paper, pictures, etc. that are put in front of me. I jump in sand and someone cares." Bless you Sis.
