Window of Opportunity…The Power of Focus
We have all heard the statement “you are what you think about.” Your performance and results can skyrocket with this seemly simple thought! Here are the latest facts.
Sport Physicians have predicted that athletes have reached the limit of their physical capacity to excel. The next level of athletic performance will be reached by tapping into and using the power of the mind by mentally focusing on the ideal shot or ideal run - not practicing on the playing field. Recent tests have shown that by consciously focusing on thoughts of perfect shots, believing they are possible and visualizing the action in their heads,
outstanding performances resulted. Athletes were able to access personal potential that was previously untapped, and this potential is anticipated as unlimited.
Heightened performance is also available to each of us by becoming conscious of what we think about. Here’s the relationship: Thoughts – Beliefs – Action – Results. When we focus our thoughts, we take personal responsibility to create whatever we want to achieve. Michael Jordan’s success is a testament to his power of mental focus and as Thomas Edison put it, “Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve.” And, when Isaac Newton was asked how h discovered gravity, he replied, “By thinking about it all of the time.”

Your Window
A fun way to experience the ‘power of focus’ in action is to hold your arm out to your side, and visualize your arm as a fire hose. Visualize a stream of high-pressured water blasting out the end at your hand. Now have an associate or friend try to push it down. If you are really focused on being like that fire hose, they will not be able to!
So what are you thinking about right now? What are your thoughts about the day ahead? If you are worrying about the problems and the possibility of failure, then that is what you will get. If you concentrate on your goals and the possibility of success, you will find satisfaction and a successful life. Our thoughts are the driving power that propels our lives. Stellar performance and accomplishments only require our thoughtful, mental practice. Wow! What do you choose to think about?

Window of Opportunity…Transfer Fear into Power
“Fear is being very close to truth and frightened to look at it. The other side of fear is insight.” Betty Bethards
Fear is a block. It holds us back from trusting ourselves, causes worry, makes or bodies tense, and fear masquerades as the need to control. We each have fears about concerns that zap our energy. When we are afraid of anything, we are acknowledging its power to hurt us. Fear appears real for each of us…but only in our minds. What is F.E.A.R? It is False Evidence Appearing Real. It’s an illusion when we believe that something is real but it isn’t.
We’ve heard many times that anything feared must be faced in order for it to go away. This is how we ‘face our fears’ and turn them into power for our confidence and growth. I look at fear or discomfort as an indicator, a sign, that I need to handle something, change a belief, or choose a different interpretation.
Let’s take the example of children who mistake harmless things, like a shadow of a toy in the night, for horrible monsters. Some have the courage to turn on the light and take a look. Others have the courage to cry out for help. But those who choose to hide under the covers, afraid to even breathe, are in the worse position of all. They are prisoners of their own imaginations. When we grow older it’s not so easy to hide under the covers. Instead, we learn to hide from our fears in other ways. We believe that denial will make them go away. Awareness of our fears is the first step in breaking out of the pattern of worry and control. This insightful workshop will provide you with a four-step process to facing your fears and reclaiming power.
