A lot of people, if not everyone, has trouble with consistently staying positive in some point of there life. And if you say you don't stop lying to yourself, not everyone is perfect. The cause to bad thinking, is the feeling of doubt; the questions that start with "What if..." Well the "what if's" that you question yourself don't exactly happen unless you completely convince yourself that they will.
So, the question that you should be asking yourself is, "Are you excited or are you nervous?" You might think the answer is simple, but are you nervous about a stressful situation or are you excited about being able to contribute to the situation? The difference is the way you view the situation, topic, competition, etc.
Now, I realize that the picture is somewhat silly, but my point I'm trying to make is what is written behind Dr. Rob Bell, "You owe it to yourself." You owe it to yourself to relax and distract yourself from being stressed. You owe it to yourself to be the best you can be at any moment in time. You owe it to yourself to realize that you are meant to be in that "stressful" situation because of courage it takes to be you. The overthinking of feeling your best or your worst can easily be distracted with friends, music, or anything that calms you down, even just breathing. However when it comes down to game time, focus on mastering that moment and conquer the battle.
