Write down each day what surprised you and how you surprised others. Most creative people keep a diary, or notes, or lab records to make their experiences more concrete and enduring.

When athletes have greater action capacities (like quicker movement times and the ability to generate more force to swing a heavier bat) they are given more invitations to act from their environment (wait longer or swing harder). This in turn has the potential to make them more skillful. If these invitations are relevant to their goals/intentions, they are accepted at the appropriate times and the athlete can realize them, they are likely to have better performance as shown in the hitting and soccer studies described.
