When negative thoughts produce positive actions!!!!
It could tell you to get your act together and unless action is taken, you will fail. You are motivated to avoid failure and arousal rises.
Performing when you feel like you are avoiding failure in a highly aroused state can be hard to replicate. You also run the risk of slipping into a spiral of negativity.You want to change these then go back to start and pick a different option

using process goalsConcentrate on the here and now and precisely what you are doing;
If you are doing that task as best as possible, then the fast time or position will take care of themselves!!“Arm action – focus on pushing back the elbows”“Run tall – focus on keeping hips high”
“getting a rhythm – counting 1,2,3,4 or 1,2,3”

Using time and position goals to motivate
If you are really confident you can achieve a certain position and time goals, this can inspire you to give just that little more…
“Catching the bus” and using other runners to pace you allows you to relax and sit in the pack.If someone you know is ahead of you, this can remind you that “if he or she can do it, so can I”!
