Blissfully Drowning

Being blissfully ignorant does not mean we should ignore vital information. 
Rather, it is a way to step away from the information-collection that often only leads to needless confusion - ultimately negatively impacting our life and-or performance; and instead allow for the necessary gestation time for information to be synthesized with that which we already understand.

Our goal as coaches is to better identify what is *vital information*, and organize our training such that we do not needlessly overwhelm at the wrong time.  As discussed, performing a skill with no expectations can allow for increased fluidity - increased PEACE - as our blissful ignorance prevents us from having any preconceived notions as to what it *should* feel like.

Occasionally, though, it is good to feel like we are drowning in information. 
It lets us know that the task is difficult - that we cannot not take our situation for granted. 
When teaching a new concept, for example, I often like to introduce the athlete to multiple layers of the skill, through multiple different ways - with the goal not necessarily to confuse them per se, but to give them an appreciation of the complexity of the task - and that it will require serious effort to improve.
