July 6th News Recently, Mavericks star Irving answered some questions from netizens during the live broadcast.
Talking about how I still don't feel nervous or backed down and keep moving forward when facing a lot of judgments from the outside world, Irving said, "This is a great question. To be honest, I'm still nervous now. But that kind of tension is no longer uncontrollable. I now know how to calm myself down and regulate my nervous system. To regulate the nervous system, the first thing to do is to start with breathing. When you feel confused or nervous inside, you have to learn to use your breath to travel through that kind of struggle. Of course, It's not just breathing. But for someone like me who has faced anxiety and experienced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it's really crucial. I have also learned to be brave enough to be honest with the outside world psychologically, mentally and emotionally. "
Then Irving said, "So, yes, I'm still nervous. But I've gradually understood one thing: being judged is actually a glory. Do you understand what I mean? Can you be discussed by others because of who you are, To some extent, you have influence. Whether you should care about these judgments is your own choice. Faced with various voices from the outside world, I learned to focus on the moment I can control and strive to be better, rather than being afraid of facing the things that make me uncomfortable. I must first face myself to truly gain spiritual freedom. I have to face my weaknesses and inner struggles, and figure out what happened to me. This process takes time, and is based on years, not a You can figure it out in months or two months."
Finally, Owen said, "So, I want to say to you: Fasten your seat belt, learn to adapt to the body you are given, and do your best to use it and live it well. Please do your best. I have experienced a lot of trauma in my life, but I don't want to use these as excuses to explain why I can't continue to grow into a better man. Now my goal is to be better every day and share my true self with you."
