Trainee Asks:   For purposes of defining uninterrupted attention/concentration, what is the degree required?  For example, if I notice a thought pop up and immediately displace it through my attention on the exercise, would this count as an interruption.  What about this same question when it comes to sounds.  A further question I have regarding sounds is whether the eventual goal is to consciously notice absolutely no sounds (except an alarm?) when involved in an exercise.

Do not seek to “have no thoughts” or “experience no auditory noise” in mind when engaged in either Mental Exercise Training or in real-world application of Attention Control Techniques. An interruption is not the ‘existence’ of a thought (auditory or visual) but whether or not it pulls you off course – whether it completely breaks your Attention Signal and causes you to drop your target in favor of interacting with the distraction. If you drop target and the distraction owns your Attention, that’s that. If you still hold target but are aware of the interference without dropping your target, then you are still in the game. Because you’re still holding target despite the existence of the distraction, you have the ability then to press Attention fully onto target for a Singular result. THIS IS A TEACHING MOMENT EVERY SINGLE TIME, because it shows you what to do anytime something sneaks up in mind to pull your Attention off-course. This applies in the CLASSROOM, on the JOB, in the BATHROOM, at the RESTAURANT, or IN THE SOCIAL CROWD. Never, EVER, willingly surrender your Attention. This will revolutionize your life. See the BASIC ATTENTION DISCIPLINE TECHNIQUE WEBINAR on the Training page in the Studio.

Willpower – The Discipline Of Urge & Impulse Control For Ultimate Self-Discipline & Success! What’s MOVING you to do what you do, in the way you do it, making your life the way it is? No matter how it may appear on the surface, OTHER PEOPLE AND OUTER CIRCUMSTANCES ARE NOT DICTATING YOUR COURSE THROUGH LIFE! If you KNEW and UNDERSTOOD the NATURE of what’s both pushing you around and pulling your strings, you would possess the answer to a secret so powerful it would change your life forever, giving you unlimited inner strength, independence, self-discipline, willpower, and personal magnetism. But again, KNOWING IS NOT ENOUGH – you have to UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE FORCES DRIVING YOU! That’s where brain training comes in, to put you in direct, conscious contact with an objective of SELF-MASTERY.

Why are we so often compelled to do what we know we shouldn’t, while failing to do what we know we really should? What fundamental forces creep unseen beneath our conscious awareness, whispering in conflict like a demon on one shoulder and an angel on the other shoulder, arguing back and forth? We’ll talk about the NATURE OF URGES AND COMPELLING IMPULSES, their connection to ATTENTION, THOUGHT, and EMOTION – and we’ll talk about what proper mental fitness training can do to utterly change your relationship to Impulses and Urges so that they take on their proper role as SIGNALS to help you succeed, as opposed to being insidious, hidden taskmasters that betray your genuine Will.

Supercharge Your Mental Focus By Training Your Attention To Detect The Onset Of Doubt And Then Convert It To Action!

MAKE DOUBT YOUR ALLY!

Mental Focus - The Power Of Doubt

Doubt is a signal – merely a brief burst of bio-chemical energy pulsing through a minor group of brain cells, inciting a sense of anxiety, carrying a false image of imminent catastrophe.

In the end, it’s just a spark in the brain, less than microscopic, that has no business at all engulfing your subjective world.

It can be listened to and obeyed, guaranteeing failure; or it can be fought and struggled against, expending energy and time wrestling with an illusion; or, it can be enlisted to your aid as a message that you have encountered a fence – a ‘Perimeter of Ignorance’, to coin a phrase made popular by Astrophysicist Neil Tyson Degrasse – a point where you simply don’t know ‘HOW’ a thing SHALL succeed.

When You’ve Come Upon “The Perimeter Of Ignorance” – Take The Leap

The best effect of proper Mental Focus Training is that you finally begin to move in a straight (rather than wavering) line toward the achievement of your crystal clear objectives; this as a result of your mind no longer being moved in conflicting directions by unchecked Attention to objective-sabotaging desires.

Still, even while possessing strong Mental Focus you shall inevitably traverse portions along your course where the unforeseen circumstance arises.  This point may take the guise of a lack of knowledge, skill, money, or other shortfall.

When your mind cannot fathom the nature of the next step, the ‘not knowing’ sets off the thoughts, feelings, and tense physiological impulses that comprise the cohesive experience of doubt.  At that moment, most people simply suffer in self-conflict and inner turmoil, but you do not have to.

Rather, you can lean on what you learn through your mental fitness training sessions in regards to detecting the onset of thought as it tugs at your Attention; too, the cognitive control skill you develop through daily, regular practice at DISENGAGING YOUR ATTENTION FROM THOSE THOUGHTS and bringing your conscious perception back to center over and over and over again.

These two acts – DETECTION and DISENGAGING – give you a freedom of choice unavailable to untrained minds.  The choice this allows (in the moment you detect and disengage) is whether or not to take immediate action; not action in reaction to the punishment of the doubt, but action in spite of – INDEPENDENT OF – the onset of doubt.

And so in that moment you find yourself free by your own hand.  This allows you to further observe the content of the doubtful thought that worries over something it fears you do not possess.  By calmly observing that content, you can take immediate action to remedy that one concern, and make an impotent liar of that unproductive fear.

Therefore, for even faster success, allow doubt to serve as a signal that ignites a CONSCIOUS SELF-COMMAND FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION to find the answer or acquire the necessary skill or experience!

You don’t know how?  You don’t need to know how in order to start learning how.

You don’t know what to do next?  You don’t need to know what to do next in order to start learning what to do next.

Just start!

Lacking sales experience?  Immediately begin relentless efforts at selling – skills or no skills.  While you’re at it, begin bugging several of the many sales people in your town for advice on the basics of selling and for some of their knowledge and experience.  Don’t let up.  Be relentless, with a smile on your face the entire time.  Keep the positive, throw out the negative.  You will acquire skills and you’ll make unexpected sales as you do so.

Lacking professional knowledge in a field you wish to enter?  Immediately begin learning all you can – no matter how little you understand.  JUST START!  Everything you need will make itself available as a result of your relentless effort.

Lacking capital funding?  Get moving to acquire it, carrying with you the assumption that you will succeed because your sources have been waiting for you all along.  Again, be utterly relentless and you shall achieve your aim!

With every feeling of doubt, hesitance, or fear, BOLT INTO ACTION!

In this way, doubt ceases to be a brake on your momentum and instead serves as a turbo-charging resource that works to your ultimate advantage.

Does this sound like too simplistic a strategy?  That is because you do not yet know – really KNOW – how great an ally doubt can be when coupled with a personal philosophy to take immediate action as a habitual reaction to doubt.  Adopt this strategy, and doubt will become as the lighthouse in foggy weather, warning ship captains away from danger while serving as a landmark to let them know they are indeed moving in the right direction.

Mental Focus For Setting & Achieving Goals!

How to Use the power of Mental Focus for transmuting imagination into Reality! What if you knew with absolute certainty that your sincere DESIRE to BE, to DO, or to HAVE is in itself all you need to take possession of the object of that desire? Well, the fact is that if you had enough consistent Mental Focus to hold onto that desire to the exclusion of every other competing desire, your objective would be virtually yours the moment you decide to have it. We’re not talking about esoteric, pie-in-the-sky concepts or hope or wishing – we’re talking about how properly executed Mental Focus training actually sets your brain’s normal daily function to make achieving your goals NATURAL and EASY for you. When you have the power of Mental Focus in your corner, the very act of setting a goal becomes the most important and valuable, momentum-inducing act in the acquisition of the objective. We’ll go over the key cognitive ingredients of GOALSETTING as it relates to Mental Focus skills, and the kind of training that helps you keep the promises you make to yourself!

(February 03, 2011)

If you are involved in Sports, Business, or ANY COMPETITIVE ARENA, Mental Focus is the absolute linchpin that determines the directional swing of your personal performance in EVERY AREA of your life. Ever wonder why so many people possessing extraordinary physical talent fail to realize their full potential? Isn’t it curious that so many world-class competitors reach that level against overwhelming odds, even while lacking physical dominance, and that those who continue to excel for years beyond average are not always the most ‘athletically gifted’? Mental Focus for Athletes is NOT merely “paying attention” on the field or in the arena – it’s MUCH MORE. For effective LONG TERM, higher-level sports performance that stands the test of time – that endures and overcomes inevitable “ups and downs” – you must turn attention to more than merely your physical skills. YOU MUST BECOME AS DEDICATED A MENTAL ATHLETE AS YOU WOULD IN BEING A PHYSICAL ATHLETE. We’ll talk about the COGNITIVE INTANGIBLES and MENTAL SKILLS necessary to make you MENTALLY EXTRAORDINARY to compensate for any shortfalls in size, strength, speed, or experience. We’ll talk about how to CLARIFY YOUR ATHLETIC AMBITION, increase MENTAL ENDURANCE, MENTAL TOUGHNESS, and MENTAL FLEXIBILITY all while reducing the effects and impact of pressure situations so that nothing can throw you off. We’ll also talk about GETTING INTO THE ZONE to experience, practice, and LIVE in THE FLOW STATE (peak performance brain state).
