Playing Volleyball to Release Negative Thinking

We are living in a complicated life with many pressures from life, relationship, work and study, so bad feeling and negative thinking are easy to appear in our mind. I am sure that we never want appearance of negative thinking to our mind, but we cannot stop it because it is a feeling of human being. I know that there are many books, many websites which give us many ways to release and forget negative thinking. In my case, the best way to release and forget negative thinking is playing volleyball.

Volleyball is a team sport that requires us to know how to pass ball, understand teammate to support and combine with them and hit ball over net. I think this sport is not too difficult to play. However, the most importance thing which I love this sport not because I want to be a good player or fit body, but to release my negative thinking after one day of studying and working.

I am not good at playing, but I am always eager to play, to go to the volleyball field after class in the afternoon. As we know, every day, we have to cope with many problems: happiness, sadness, success, failure. If we don’t release them, we always feel tired and stressful, so they will affect to our life. We will not feel happy and comfortable to enjoy this life. Therefore, we have to find way to release, to forget it as much as possible.

In my case, when I play volleyball, I don’t force me to win the match, only need to try my best to play, to live fully with the moment which I am existing and try to forget what make me sad, unhappy and tired. Especially, I only focus on how to catch, to pass to teammate and hit ball over net, I don’t want to think to negative things of the day which I have lived. In my opinion, that is good way to live with present and enjoy life. Moreover, I try to make fun, always smile even my team loses. I think that only laughter on the field volleyball just helps me release my negative thinking, reduce my pressure and forget my sadness.

Moreover, volleyball cannot play alone or individually, it forces us to play and work with teammate. If we want to win and make the match become more dramatic, we have to help and support to each other, focus on how to pass the ball smoothly and know how to sympathy to each other when somebody cannot catch the ball. Therefore, we only concentrate to play well, to combine smoothly with teammate, so we are easy to forget everything outside the volleyball field. As I said, we play because of relaxation, creation of laughter, not achievement, so after playing I am sure that we will feel very comfortable and healthy.

So, that is my best way to release my negative thinking in my mind, how about you? If we want to enjoy a happier life, we have to find way to relax after a day with studying and working. Although, this life is always complex, I believe that we know how to make it easier.
